The railway starts north of Tashkent in Uzbekistan, where it branches off the Trans-Caspian railway. From there it heads roughly northeast through Shymkent, Taraz, Bishkek (on a spur) to the old Kazakh capital of Almaty. There it turns northward to Semey before crossing the Russian border. It passes through Barnaul before ending at Novosibirsk, where it meets the Trans-Siberian railway.
