In a significant development towards strengthening rail connectivity in Jammu & Kashmir, the Northern Railways has accelerated key operational and redevelopment works in the Jammu division to initiate a direct train service between Jammu and Srinagar.
Currently, services operate up to Katra in Reasi district. As per senior officials, track-related works between Jammu and Katra are nearly complete, while civil infrastructure upgrades including platforms and station facilities at Jammu Railway Station are in the final phase.
The initiative is being closely monitored, with expectations that existing bottlenecks will be cleared soon. The target is to commence direct movement once full readiness is achieved.
The iconic USBRL (Udhampur–Srinagar–Baramulla Rail Link) continues to stand as a hallmark of India’s modern engineering — featuring the world’s tallest railway bridge over the Chenab, and India’s first cable-stayed rail bridge at Anji Khad.
A transformative milestone for travel, trade, and regional connectivity is now within reach. 🚆✨
