Every working day, six days a week, two trains run that are not on the passenger board: 6201 and 6202, the depot workers' trains between Nurzhan station and the freight depot, four kilometres to the north-east on the north line. They carry the men from the freight yard, in old green carriages, unlit, with a stove at one end.

They are the only trains in Irad where nobody asks for a ticket and everybody has a tin of tea. See Freight at the Nurzhan depot.
