Route/Schedule of Tajik Railways Train 319/320 Moscow - Dushanbe

[mandelbrot]

On the Trains in Tajikistan page, there's a train listed as Dushanbe - Moscow. After searching online, I couldn't find the actual route or schedule it has. It goes through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan again, and Tajikistan, and arrives in Moscow Kazanskaya (according to Wikipedia). Does anyone have additional info about the route or schedule? Thanks.

Here's the route: https://pass.rzd.ru/tickets/public/en?layer_name=e3-route-info&train_num=319З&date=20.12.2017&code0=6600001&code1=2000000

According to rzd.ru, train № 319З leaves Dushanbe at 3:07 on a Thursday and reaches Moscow 3 d. 22 h. 54 min. later.
There's also a connection on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with train № 329З (and the same route, as far as I can see).

Thanks for the link, it allowed me to find the RZD long distance calendar and searcher. It's pretty cool, but other people probably know about it already.

I set the first link for Dushanbe - Moscow Kaz, and the second for Train 319Z on Jan 3 2018 (the dot appears on Jan 4 on the calendar b/c it originates in Kulyab the evening before). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to list segments through Turkmenistan, but lists the border checkpoints. The segments through Uzbekistan might be a bit spotty.

Is the 3:07am Moscow time or Dushanbe time? Also, why doesn't it stop at Termez? I see no other rail line that bypasses Termez yet goes through Turkmenistan.
