Extant practice of Train Operations India - Pakistan
• Bilateral Agreements exist for interchange of traffic at border stations; - Wagah (Pakistan) – Attari (India) and
- Kokrabar (Pakistan) – Munabao (India)
• No break of Gauge issues as both countries have Broad Gauge (1.676 m)
• Customs, Immigration and health checks conducted by the border stations of the respective countries
• BCN wagons used for inter-country traffic
• Freight/Fare collected for the movement from/to border points of the respective country
• Freight interchange however is very minimal
