1.) Ambala Attari Line - 273km    ( 264km route in Punjab )

Description :- The distance between Attari to Shambu Railway station is 256 km. Because Attari railway station is 2.6 km away from Indo-Pak Border and Shambu railway staion is 5.4 km away from Punjab-Haryana Border ( Gaggar River ),Therefore consider this distance also 256km+2.6km+5.4km=264km. 

History :- The Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway completed the Multan–Lahore–Amritsar line in 1865 and the 483 km (300 mi)-long Amritsar–Ambala–Saharanpur–Ghaziabad line in 1870 connecting Multan (now in Pakistan) with Delhi. Amritsar–Attari section was completed on the route to Lahore in 1862.

2.) Amritsar Khemkaran Line - 77km   ( Consider 76km ) 

Description :- I consider 76km of line upto Khemkaran because 1km distance already calculated in Ambala-Attari Line, this will help precisely measure.

History :- The main 111 kilometres (69 mi) long railway line from Amritsar Junction to Kasur via Tarn Taran Junction was originally built by Killick, Nixon and Company with under North Western State Railway Company in Punjab was constructed on different phases from 1906-1911.

3.) Taran Taran-Beas Branch Line of (Amritsar-Khemkaran Line) - 49km   ( Consider 47km )  - Beas Railway Staion lies on Amabal-Attari Line

Description :- I consider 47km of line upto Taran Taran and Beas because 1km+1km distances are already calculated in Amritsar-Khemkaran Line and Ambala-Attari Line respectively, this will help precisely measure.

It has a branch line which starts from Tarn Taran Junction and ends at Beas Junction with a stretch of 49 km opened in 2011.

4.) Amritsar-Pathankot Line - 109km ( Consider 106km )

5.) Verka-Dera Baba Nanak Branch line of Amritsar-Pathankot - 46km 

Prior to the partition of India in 1947, this line was 226 km (140 mi) long and was linked to Sialkot (now in Pakistan), but after partition Dera Baba Nanak became the terminus. 

6.) Batala-Qadian Rail Line - 18km

7.) Jalandhar - Jammu Line ( 166km route in Punjab upto Madhopur, Ravi River )

Description :- 12km line passes through Himachal Pradesh near Mekerian.

History :- This line was made after Indian Independence in 1947. Normally before partition of India and creation of Pakistan, trains to Jammu Tawi from Delhi used to run via Panipat, Ambala Cantonment, Ludhiana, Jalandhar City, Amritsar, Lahore, Narowal and Sialkot. But after partition and creation of Pakistan in 1947, the Sialkot–Jammu Tawi line was dismantled and closed permanently. Jammu and Kashmir became cut off from rest of India. Hence in 1949, it was decided to extend the line from Jalandhar City to Mukerian till Pathankot and after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, this line was extended to Jammu Tawi. This 216 km (134 mi) railway line is an important strategic connectivity for Indian Military and Defence. 

The line from Jalandhar City to Mukerian City was constructed in 1915.^[1] The Mukerian city to Pathankot jn line was built in 1952. The construction of the Pathankot–Jammu Tawi line was initiated in 1965, after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, and opened in 1971.^[2] Railway tracks between Jalandhar and Jammu Tawi have been doubled.^[3] Electrification of railway track between Jalandhar and Jammu Tawi was completed in 2014.

8.) Jalandhar Hoshiarpur Line - 43km ( Consider 38km )
