Freight trains run regularly between India and Pakistan via the Attari (Punjab) – Lahore route. The Munabao – Khokhrapar route is under consideration [2007] for goods traffic (it is currently only used for the Thar Express passenger traffic). Freight trains have also been running regularly between India and Bangladesh on the Gede-Darshana and Petrapole – Benapole routes. Another route connecting India and Bangladesh is Singhbad (India) – Rohanpur (Bangladesh). The Bongaon (India) – Jessore (Bangladesh) direct BG route has been proposed, and needs a 10km link constructed between Akhaura and Agartala. Nepal is connected to India by rail by the Birgunj – Raxaul line. See the international section and also the international links list.
