Ticketing

You can buy tickets at the train station or at a kassa in central Dushanbe that sells rail and air tickets. Online, you can try Tutu.ru. It’s user-friendly and in English, but the price is likely to be higher than what you pay offline, and you may still have to get the actual ticket printed for you in a station in Russia.
