The '''Kotri-Rohri Railway''' was opened in 1900 linking [[Kotri]] to [[Rohri]] in Sind Province (now in Pakistan).

The railway to [[Kotri]] from [[Karachi]] had opened in 1861. However the crossing of the River Indus was a major obstacle and only commenced in 1893 with [[Ernest Ifill Shadbolt]] as Engineer-in-chief in charge of the construction of the [[Kotri Bridge]] .

The railway from [[Kotri]] via [[Hyderabad]] ran northwards to reach [[Rohri]] to meet the [[Lansdowne Bridge]] crossing the River Indus to connect to the [[Indus Valley State Railway]].
