Koh-e-Taftan Railway Station (Urdu: کوہ تفتان اسٹیشن , Balochi: کوہی تفتان اسٹیشن) (or Kūh-i-Taftān)[1] is a railway station in Taftan, Balochistan, Pakistan, a dry, elevated, mountainous town in Pakistan. It is the westernmost railway station in Pakistan and the last station in Pakistan on the Quetta-Taftan Railway Line before crossing into Iran. The station serves Taftan, a town notable for the east-west trunk road. The city is located in the western projection of Balochistan, a far-western province.
It is located 62 kilometres (39 mi) northeast of the thermally active dark peak or small massif also called Taftan, which is located wholly in Iran.
The border with Iran is less than 700 metres (2,300 ft) to the west of the station. The station sits at approximately 61.54° east, whereas Pakistan's easternmost station, Chak Amru, in Punjab, lies in an upper valley at about 75.2° east of the prime meridian.
