The '''Khyber Pass Railway''' was a line from India to [[AfganistanAfghanistan]] via [[Khyber Pass]]; built as a strategic line to thwart any Afghan or Russian invasion of India.
In 1879 a reconnaissance survey was conducted with an aim to find the feasibility of laying railways through Khyber Pass. Many years pass without any action on the ground. Finally the construction started in 1905 from a place called Kacha Garhi between [[Peshawar]] and [[Jamrud]]. The track made progress westwards and 32km of track was laid by 1907.
The railway was worked by [[North Western Railway]](NWR).
