The '''Khwaja Amran Railway Survey''' was undertaken in 1887
The section from [[Bostan]] to [[Chaman]] through the Khwaja Amran mountains became known as the '''Chaman Extension Railway'''. Built to a steep ruling gradient it rises to 6394 feet (1948m) at [[Shelabagh]] and drops to 4304 feet (1312m) at [[Chaman]]. Six tunnels were needed in its 68 mile length including the mighty [[Khojak Tunnel]] which at 12870 feet (3922m), was the longest tunnel in India.
