Also there is a railway line that runs for only 20 miles from Janakpur in Nepal to Jaynagar junction in India. The train services in operation between India and Pakistan are
- Samjhauta Express (from Attari-India to Lahore-Pakistan via Wagah). This route is also opened for the movement of freight trains.
