Re: Getting from Astrakhan to Khiva
Yes, you can take trains Atyrau - Beyneu - Kungrad - Urgench. More info https://caravanistan.com/transport/trai ... kalpakstan

Atyrau-Urgench will take around 27 hours. I don't know how well bus/marshrutka/taxi operations between Astrakhan and Atyrau are, your option to do it all by train would be taking a train to Aksairaiskaia and change there onto the Volgograd-Urgench(-Tashkent) train. Be prepared to be questioned by the FSB however if you decide to loiter around at Aksairaiskaia.

After having a look at a map, noticing that Astrakhan->Aksaraiskaia is only 55km and reading a German-language blog by people who did something similar, my recommendation would be taking a taxi to Aksaraiskaia and joining the train there (as taking a train to Aksaraiskaia would mean spending at least 4 hours there - and there is nothing).
As the border control is done at the platform at Aksaraiskaia, be sure to be at the station when the train *arrives*, not when it departs.
