The Trans-Iranian Railway was a major railway building project started in 1927 and completed in 1938, under the direction of the Persian monarch, Reza Shah, and entirely with indigenous capital.

The railway connected Bandar Shah (now: Bandar Torkaman) in the north and Bandar Shahpur (now: Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni) in the south via Ahvaz, Ghom and Tehran. During the land reforms implemented by Mohammad Reza Shah in 1963 as part of the “White Revolution” the Trans-Iranian railway was extended to link Tehran to Mashhad, Tabriz, and Isfahan.

Iran train tour offers an opportunity to visit the northern route of the Trans-Iranian Railway crossing the Alborz mountains by SURFIRAN tourism train on the path of railway history.
