Raxaul–Kathmandu railway line
The Raxaul–Kathmandu railway line is a proposed cross-border railway between India and Nepal. The governments of India and Nepal had issued a joint statement on expanding rail linkages with India's financial support, connecting the border city of Raxaul in India to Kathmandu in Nepal. Nepal signed a memorandum of understanding with India to prepare a detailed project report for a proposed railway linking the two towns, with an estimated cost around US$3 billion. Konkan Railway Corporation conducted a preliminary engineering pre-feasibility study (cum traffic survey) of the proposed broad gauge (1,676 mm) railway project. According to the pre-feasibility study the railway line will start from Raxaul and pass through Jitpur, Nijgadh, Sikharpur, Sisneri and Sathikhel before connecting Chobhar and Kathmandu. The railway is proposed to be  long and have 41 bridges and 40 curves. Around 20 per cent of it will consist of tunnels and bridges. About 40 km section will have tunnels and 35 bridges have to be built in different places. The Detail Project Report (DPR) for the Raxaul–Kathmandu railroad is ongoing.
