TOPSHOT - This picture taken on May 24, 2026 shows passengers waiting for their train as Tulpar-Talgo coaches, the locally-produced train carriages made in cooperation with Spanish rolling stock manufacturer Talgo, are seen in the background at Shymkent station, southern Kazakhstan. The railway network of Kazakhstan, the world's largest landlocked country, runs on Soviet-era broad gauge (1520mm) track and stretches more than 16,500 kilometres. Overnight sleeper train travel between major cities is a popular way to explore both the historic and modern sides of Kazakhstan, Central Asia's most developed economy.
