Railway Track(0 km)

Joginder Nagar is well connected with a narrow gauge railway line, Rail Head of one of the world's still playing narrow gauge train. This railway track was built during 1926-1929 and was opened for transporting raw material for construction of Shanan Power House on April 1st, 1929. This railway line has been nominated for inclusion in UNESCO's cultural heritage list.
Proposals for extending this railway track up to Leh have been made. The proposed 460 km long railway line will pass from Joginder Nagar, Manali, Keylong, Pang and will go up to Leh. There was a steam engine which has been replaced by diesel engine. Jogindernagar-Pathankot is the longest railway line track of Himachal Pradesh.
