Currently [1/05] there are no railways at all in Bhutan. However, recently a proposal has been floated to link Bhutan’s border towns with three railheads in Assam and two in West Bengal. In this proposal, the following cross-border lines would be constructed:

  • Banarhat, West Bengal — Samchi (Samtse) (16km)
  • Hashimara, West Bengal — Phuentsholing (18km), with a possible extension to Pasakha
  • Kokrajhar, Assam — Gelekphu (70km)
  • Pathsala, Assam — Nanglam (40km)
  • Rangia, Assam — Sandrup Jonghkar via Darranga (60km)

There has been no progress on these proposals. In October 2009, these proposed links to Bhutan came up again in press releases and announcements.
