The corresponding station on the Bangladesh side is Shahbajpur (also known as Latu) in Sylhet District. The border station is linked to Karimganj {{convert|11|km}} away. The Mahisasan-Shahbajpur route has not been operational since December, 1996 due to lack of traffic.[1] HistoryIn response to the demand of the Assam tea planters for a railway link to Chittagong port, Assam Bengal Railway started construction of a railway track on the eastern side of Bengal in 1891. A {{convert|150|km}} track between Chittagong and Comilla was opened to traffic in 1895. The Comilla-Akhaura-Kulaura-Badarpur section was opened in 1896-1898 and finally extended to Lumding in 1903.[2][3][4] Mahisasan was a station on this track. With the partition of India in 1947, it assumed importance as a border station. Broad gaugeThe Railway Budget for 2011-12 has approved the conversion of the metre gauge Karimganj-Mahisasan section to broad gauge. Now this a broad gauge single track non electrified line. Currently 2 passenger trains are running in this line from Silchar. Trans-Asian RailwayCurrently, all freight traffic originating from Asia destined for Europe goes by sea. The Trans-Asian Railway will enable containers from Singapore, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand and Korea to travel over land by train to Europe. The Southern Corridor of the Trans-Asian Railway is of prime interest to India. It connects Yunnan in China and Thailand with Europe via Turkey and passes through India.[5] There is a general understanding between India and Myanmar that their railways will be interconnected via a 346-km line section that will extend from Kalay in Myanmar to Jiribam in India via the border point at Tamu / Moreh.[6] The proposed route will enter India through Tamu and Moreh in Manipur bordering Myanmar, then enter Bangladesh through Mahisasan and Shahbajpur and again enter India from Bangladesh at Gede. On the western side, the line will enter Pakistan at Attari. There is a {{convert|315| km}} missing link on this route in the India-Myanmar sector; of this, {{convert|180|km}}, in India, is between Jiribam in Manipur and Tamu in Myanmar. The rail link between Jiribam and Imphal has been sanctioned by Indian Railways, but that is unlikely to be completed before 2016. At present construction work is in progress in a {{convert|97|km}} stretch between Jiribam and Tupul.[7][8][9][10] References1. ^{{cite web| url =http://pib.nic.in/newsite/erelease.aspx?relid=31026 |title = Rail Link with Bangladesh| publisher= Press Information Bureau, Government of India, 7 September 2007| accessdate = 2011-12-22 }} {{Railway lines in Eastern India}}{{Railway stations in Assam}}2. ^{{cite book |last=Fida |first=Quazi Abul |year=2012 |chapter=Railway |chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Railway |editor1-last=Islam |editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal |editor2-first=Ahmed A. |title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh |edition=Second |publisher=Asiatic Society of Bangladesh}} 3. ^{{cite web| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=pL_GfLfK3lYC&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46 |title = Report on the administration of North East India (1921-22) |work= p. 46| publisher=Google Books/ Mttal Publishers Distributors | accessdate = 2011-12-16 }} 4. ^{{cite web| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=7OsLGZKYP5MC&pg=PA105 |title = Socio Economic and Political Problems of Tea Garden Workers: A Study of Assam, Published 2006, ISBN 81-8324-098-4|work=p. 105 | last= S.N.Singh, Amarendra Narain, Purnendu Kumar|first= |publisher= Mittal Publications, New Delhi | accessdate = 2011-12-16 }} 5. ^{{cite web| url = http://streamlinesupplychain.wordpress.com/2007/12/27/trans-asian-railways-tar/|title = Trans-Asian Railway| publisher= Streamline Supply Chain| accessdate = 2011-12-22 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/common/TIS/TAR/text/tar_priority.pdf |title=Priority Investment Needs for the development of the Trans-Asian Railway Network |publisher=Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific |accessdate=2011-12-26 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120120222326/http://www.unescap.org/ttdw/common/TIS/TAR/text/tar_priority.pdf |archivedate=20 January 2012 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.lawrkhawm.com/index.php?page=475 |title = Agreement on Trans-Asian railway passing through Manipur signed| publisher= Larkhawm | accessdate = 2011-12-22 }} 8. ^{{cite web| url = http://hindu.com/2007/07/01/stories/2007070150650900.htm |title = India signs accord on trans-Asian railway network | publisher= The Hindu, 1 July 2007| accessdate = 2011-12-22 }} 9. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/more.php?news_id=129648&date=2011-03-18 |title = B'desh segment of TAR route preparation shows progress | publisher= Financial Express, 18 March 2011| accessdate = 2011-12-22 }} 10. ^{{cite web| url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1110226/jsp/frontpage/story_13637652.jsp |title = Manipur gets rail gift for Trinamul bypoll win - Tall promises of connecting all capitals of region leaves Northeast industry captains unimpressed | publisher= The Telegraph, 26 February 2011 | accessdate = 2011-12-22 }} 2 : Bangladesh–India border crossings|Railway stations in Karimganj district |
