Azerbaijan Railways’ cargo service has transitioned to an enhanced operational mode in preparation for COP29, head of Azerbaijan Railways' passenger transportation department Azer Farajov said at a media tour at Baku Railway Station.
He noted that regular monitoring is being conducted across sections, stations, dispatch points, and depots for locomotive and wagon operations.
"Continuous control is maintained to regulate the movement of freight trains according to schedule. To ensure safe, timely, and effective cargo transportation, as well as compliance with regulations for freight train operations, additional technical training is being provided for staff. Fundamental inspections of infrastructure are being carried out, along with preventive measures to ensure the uninterrupted flow of cargo and passenger transport," he stated.
In addition, green belts have been established near railway lines as part of landscaping efforts.
Preparatory work has also been conducted at the railway museum, where multilingual guides have been engaged. Foreign guests will have access to information about sixty exhibits via QR codes. The museum's interior has been updated, featuring a ‘Time Train’ corner, and a new cinema hall where documentary films about the history of railways can be viewed in several languages. The ‘Time Train’ exhibit, modeled after the ‘Ammendorf’ train, offers visitors a chance to embark on a virtual journey," Farajov added.
