The '''Khanai-Hindubagh Railway'''became part of the [[North Western Railway]](NWR) 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) network. During First World War, a line was laid from [[Khanai]] (30km north of [[Quetta]]) to [[Hindubagh]] (now Muslimbagh). Hindubagh had Chrome mines, which was used in munitions of First World War. The railway line at that time was a private siding for the Balochistan Chrome Ore Company. The work started on Khanai-Hindubagh line in 1916 and was opened for rail traffic in 1921. In 1927, the Hindubagh to Qila Saifullah section was opened and finally the section up to [[Zhob]] was opened in 1929. It became part of NWR's Northern Frontier narrow gauge, [[Zhob Valley Railway]] network.
