The
proposed Indian broad gauge railways extension to Central
Asia:
*Pakistan-Afghan-Central
Asia railway project: The
proposed 1,676 mm (5 ft 6
in) Indian
gauge
railways between Pakistan and the Central Asian Republics through
Afghanistan.
*India-Xinjiang-Kazakh
railway project: The proposed 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)
Indian gauge railway between India and
Kazakhstan through Xinjiang, China which will bypass Pakistan and
Afghanistan.
*Pakistan-Xinjiang-Tajik
railway project: The proposed 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)
Indian gauge railway between Pakistan and
Tajikistan through Xinjiang, China which will bypass
Afghanistan.
*Pakistan-Iran-Turkmen
railway project: The proposed 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)
Indian gauge railway between Pakistan and
Turkmenistan through Iran which will bypass Afghanistan.
Design guidelines
for the proposed Indian broad gauge railways extension to Central
Asia:
*Electrification should be 2x25kV AC overhead
lines.
*Passenger platform height should
be 200 mm (7.9 in) above rails.
*Sleeper
type should be concrete.
*Loading gauge
should be 4.1m wide and 6.15m tall.
*Double-track side should be right-hand
runnning.
*Minimum overhead wire height
should be 6.5m above rails.
*Minimum
passenger platform length should be 600m.
*Rail profile should be 75kg/m.
The Indian
broad gauge railways extension to Central Asia are desireble to create multiple
break-of-gauge points between Indian gauge and Russian gauge without any other
gauge intervening.
