Koh-e-Taftan Railway Station (Urdu: کوہ تفتان اسٹیشن, Balochi: کوہی تفتان اسٹیشن) (or Kūh-i-Taftān)[1] is in Taftan a dry, elevated, mountainous town in Pakistan. The country's most western station, it is the last station in Pakistan on the Quetta-Taftan Railway Line before crossing into Iran and serves the town notable for the east-west trunk road. It is in the western projection of the far western province, Balochistan.
