Geospatial Evaluation of Kazakhstan's Dostyk-Moyinty Railroad Progress: Spring 2024

The Dostyk-Moyinty railway (DMR) is a rail line in eastern Kazakhstan connecting the Kazakh-China border crossing at Dostyk with the interior of Kazakhstan. It is a critical component of the larger Middle Corridor (MC) trade route linking Central Asia, China, Europe, and Russia. Kazakhstan is currently adding a second rail line to the DMR, which is projected to increase transit volume five times along the route.
