Jammu–Baramulla line

The Jammu–Baramulla line is a railway track between the towns of Jammu and Baramulla in Jammu and Kashmir, India. The 338 km railway track will connect the Kashmir Valley with Jammu Tawi railway station and thence to the rest of India. It comes under the jurisdiction of the Jammu Railway Division of Indian Railways's Northern zone. Part of this railway route from Udhampur to Baramulla is known as Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramula Rail Link (USBRL). The 359 m (1,178 ft) high Chenab Bridge lies on this line, which is the highest railway bridge in the world. The total project cost in 2022 was INR28,000 crore. Construction of the route faced natural challenges including major earthquake zones, extreme temperatures and inhospitable terrain.
