Most of the tunnels listed below are located in


the Western Ghats, the only mountain range in the
country that has good railway connectivity. There are
longer tunnels that are under construction in
the Himalayas in Jammu & Kashmir, as part of
the USBRL Project. Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel, the
11.2 km long railway tunnel, passes through the Pir
Panjal Range of middle Himalayas in Jammu and
Kashmir. It is a part of its Udhampur – Srinagar
– Baramulla rail link project, India's longest railway
tunnel and reduced the distance
between Quazigund and Banihal . But after the
Patalpani Tunnel currently planned under construction
in Madhya Pradesh, 49 kilometres (30 mi)
from Indore city is completed in 2025, it will become
the longest railway tunnel of India.
PIR PANJAL RAILWAY TUNNEL:
The Pir Panjal Railway Tunnel or Qazigund railway tunnel is
an 11.215 kilometres (6.969 mi) long railway tunnel located
in Pir Panjal Range of middle Himalayas in Jammu and
Kashmir, India, south of Qazigund town. It is a part of
the Jammu–Baramulla line.
The north portal of the railway tunnel is at 33.5617942°N
75.1988626°E and its south portal is at 33.463203°N
75.193992°E.

Progress of the project:


The new Banihal-Qazigund tunnel for the Jammu–Baramulla
line connecting Bichleri Valley of Banihal with Qazigund area
of Kashmir Valley has been constructed as a part of
its Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link project. The boring
was completed in four years in October 2011, its lining and
laying of rail tracks was completed in the next one year and
trial run commenced on 28 December 2012. The tunnel was
commissioned on 26 June 2013 and commercial runs started
from 27 June 2013.
The rail tunnel reduces the distance between Quazigund and
Banihal by 17 kilometres (11 mi) (from 35 kilometres (22 mi)
by road to 17.5 kilometres (10.9 mi) by train).[5] Banihal
railway station is situated at 1,702 m (5,584 ft) above mean
sea level. The railway network in Kashmir from Banihal
to Baramulla is now 137 kilometres (85 mi). Until the 148
kilometres (92 mi) Katra-Banihal section of Jammu–
Baramulla line gets constructed (may open in 2021), people
can travel from Jammu Tawi or Udhampur to Banihal by road
and take the train from Banihal to Srinagar through the
Banihal railway tunnel.

View towards the massive Pir Panjal range the Railway line passes
through it.
