Bairabi Sairang Railway

Indian Railway has already converted the current 84 km railline from Katakhal (Assam) to Bairabi 2 km inside Mizoram. Its further 51.38 km Bairabi Sairang Railway extension from Bairabi to Sairang (20 km north of Aizawl) in Mizoram is under construction with target completion date of March 2019 as per status update in March 2016. In August 2015, India railway completed a survey for a possible new route extension from Sairang to Hmawngbuchhuah[1] on Mizoram's southern tip on the border of Myanmar, where at nearby Zochachhuah[2] village the National Highway 502 (India) (part of Kaladan Multi-Modal Transit Transport Project) enters Myanmar, leaving a possibility open for yet-unplanned future rail connections to Paletwa.[3][4]

gollark: BigReactors is kind of boring, the reactors have weird rules and don't explode. There's Nuclearcraft, which is arguably more realistic, though.

gollark: No, Intel stuff is affected by both, basically every modern one including ARM by spectre.
