*'''Manipur Route''' Leaving the [[Assam-Bengal Railway]] near Lumding, via [[Manipur]] into the Kubaw valley at Tammu, and crossing the Chindwin near Yuwo, joined the Mu Valley Railway near Wuntho.
*'''Hukong Valley Route''' From near Makum in the north-east coner of [[Assam]] and crossing the Patkai range, entering Burma via the Hukong valley, connecting with the Burma Railway system at Mogaung. The Hukong Valley Route was reported to be the most feasible, it was the shortest and estimated to be the cheapest.
Eventually the project was dropped.
