Why few Indian neighbour countries are not connected with Railway? 10 Answers Why few Indian neighbour countries are not connected with Railway? Jul 19 2019 (13:09) Blog Post# 4382071-2 TheMadrasMail~ Added by: TouristerDivyanshu^~ Jul 19 2019 (22:40) Pakistan and Bangladesh were just parts of British India before partition. So the British constructed a lot of railway lines to these regions and there was a large flow of passenger and freight traffic at that time. Whatever lines we have now to these countries, were laid decades ago before independence. Just to maintain some connectivity, some of these lines have been reopened now. Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal and Myanmar, were different. ... more...

However, Nepal's rulers were pro-British, and received a lot of assistance from them (Though they did have some wars initially). As a result, there used to be 2 major lines connecting Nepal and India. An NG line from Jaynagar (in India) and an MG line from Raxaul. The MG from Raxaul fell into disuse in the 70's. The NG line from Jaynagar used to operate until recently and is now being replaced with a BG line. As Nepal... more...

It was also a British colony and was at one time ruled as a part of British India. All pre-independence Railway board reports also contain information about railways in Myanmar( then Burma). And works were started at one time, to connect the Indian subcontinent with Myanmar with an MG line. India's eastern border with Myanmar is completely hilly, with a very extreme terrain.This makes running any railway lines through Nagaland, Manipur or Mizoram essentially impossible. The only possible route is through Bangladesh. The construction of a... more...

Even though everything seemed ready, including the level crossings and signals and all, why the services have not started was puzzling. Residents of Janakpur town in Nepal were heavily dependent of the MG line to Jaynagar - Bihar and are eagerly awaiting the commencement of services on this newly laid BG line between Janakpur and Jainagar.

Connecting Chennai and Colombo, the system initially utilised a rail-to-sea operation, but changed to a rail-to-sea-to-rail operation.[1] Passengers could buy a single ticket for the journey In 1964 a passenger train was washed into the sea by huge waves during the 1964 cyclone, when nearing Dhanushkodi. The railway tracks and the pier at Dhanushkodi were also destroyed. Following this, the Indian portion of the train service now only operates up to Rameswaram Wiki... more...

While India does share a border with Afghanistan in the disputed PoK region, it is virtually impossible to construct any economical railway lines in the area. The entire PoK region (for hundreds of kilometers) is hilly and is home to some of the highest peaks in the Himalayas. Any railway project here will be ridiculously costly. For comparison, the Jammu-Baramulla line, which only has one short section cutting through the... more... |
