It seems the Ministry of Railway Transport of Turkmenistan does have a website. However there is some kind of configuration problem with their default page, which means index.html returns a 404 error and so http://www.railway.gov.tm doesn’t work and the site is rather hard to find.

The Ministry website does have some working pages, and these appear to be in Russian, which Google Translate generally does a reasonable job of translating into English. Here are the pages I’ve found:

• History
• Chronology of Turkmenistan’s railways:
  • 15 November 1897 Construction of the railway Merv – Kushka
  • 4 December 1898 Start of through traffic Merv – Kushka (293 versts [=313 km])
• News. Mostly calls for tenders, some in English. The last update was 24 March 2011
• The North-South line from Kazakhstan to Iran
• Construction of social facilities
• Construction of a bridge across the Amu Darya
• Contact details

(in case this posting attracts web traffic from people who are looking for the official website: I have no connection with – or contacts at – any railway organisations within Turkmenistan. I’ve never been anywhere near the country. If you need to get in touch with them, you can find their details here; do let me know if they reply!).
