	The '''Lumding–Sabroom section''' is a railway line under [[Lumding railway division]] of [[Northeast Frontier Railway zone\|Northeast Frontier Railway]] zone of [[Indian Railways]]. It is a single {{track gauge\|1676mm\|lk=on}} [[broad-gauge]] track from [[Lumding]] in [[~~Nagaon~~ district~~\|Nagaon District~~]] of [[Assam]] state to [[Agartala]] ~~in [[West Tripura district]]~~ of [[Tripura]] state. The ~~43 ~~km-long {{track gauge\|1676mm}} segment from [[Agartala]] southwards to [[Udaipur, Tripura]] was completed in 2016 and became operational on 23 January 2017. The remaining 70~~ ~~km long track to [[Sabroom]] at the bank of [[Feni River]] at [[Bangladesh]] border was completed in 2019 and became operational on 3 October 2019.

The British introduced 6 important trains after the {{convert\|363\|km\|mi}} long [[Guwahati]]-[[Lumding]]-{{stnlnk\|Badarpur Junction}} MG line was completed in 1914. These were 2 MG trains between [[Guwahati]] and [[Silchar]], 1 MG train between [[Silchar]] & [[Sylhet]], 1 MG Train between [[Silchar]] & [[Dhaka]], 1 MG Train between [[Dhaka]] & [[Hailakandi]] & 1 between [[Guwahati]] & [[Dhaka]]. In 1947 after partition, 4 trains were permanently withdrawn with only 2 MG trains between [[Guwahati]] and [[Silchar]] running until 1992. After conversion of Guwahati–Lumding to broad gauge in 1992, the originating and ending station of these train was changed to Lumding.

			On June–July 2025, Indian Railways has successfully completed [[Bairabi]] - [[Sairang]] (near Aizawl) [[Broad Gauge]] Railway line linking Mizoram. The railway connection to [[Imphal]] is in progress & completed till Khongsang. Important stations in these routes are:-

			[[Silchar]] - [[Sairang]] Section:- [[Silchar]], {{stnlnk\|Arunachal Junction}}, {{stnlnk\|Katakhal Junction}}, [[Hailakandi]], Lalabazar(Lala), [[Bairabi]], [[Sairang]]. This section is {{convert\|154\|km\|mi}} long (From Silchar), with [[Bairabi]] - [[Sairang]] part of {{convert\|51\|km\|mi}} is just completed & undergoing trial runs for introducing '''20507/20508 [[Sairang–Anand Vihar Terminal Rajdhani Express\|Sairang-Anand Vihar Terminal Rajdhani Express]]'''.<ref>{{cite web\|title=20507/20508 Mizoram Rajdhani Express coming soon\|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/mizoram-to-get-its-first-ever-rajdhani-express-railway-line-set-for-inauguration-by-pm-modi-says-cm-lalduhoma/articleshow/122162085.cms}}</ref>

			[[Silchar]] - [[Imphal]] Section: - [[Silchar]], {{stnlnk\|Arunachal Junction}}, {{stnlnk\|Jiribam}}, Vangaichungpao, Rani Gaidinliu, Thingou, Khongsang. This section is completed upto Khongsang & is {{convert\|110\|km\|mi}} long (From Silchar). 12097/12098 Agartala - Khongsang [[Janshatabdi Express]] runs on this route.
