Nagorno-Karabakh is a de facto independent enclave of Azerbaijan.
There is just one rail line in territory, built to the Russian standard gauge of 1520mm and connecting the capital Stepanakert with the Azerbaijani town of Köçərli (Kocarli, Kyucharli). It has not been operational since the secessionist conflicts of the early 1990s.
