A passenger train decorated in honor of the 125th anniversary of the first Kazakh academician-geologist Kanysh Satpayev departed from the capital's Nurly Zhol railway station.

His active scientific work was closely connected with the city of Zhezkazgan, so the design of the commemorative train was chosen for route No. 65/66 "Astana-Zhezkazgan". The decorated train will run every other day until the beginning of autumn.

The national carrier, together with the Kazakhmys company, is launching a thematic project dedicated to outstanding Kazakh figures for the first time. The dates of Kanysh Satpayev's life and his jubilee portrait are placed on the outside of the train. The project is aimed at honoring the memory of the great Kazakh scientist.

Kanysh Satpayev is known for his discoveries of large deposits of copper, coal and other minerals, which significantly influenced the economic development of Kazakhstan.
