International Rail Links
India has rail links with Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. It also plans to install a rail system in southern Bhutan. A move to link the railways of India and Sri Lanka never materialised. But a train ferry service connects the closest railheads between Indian and Sri Lanka.
Before the Partition of India there were eight rail links between what are now India and Pakistan. However, currently there are only two actively maintained rail links between the two countries.
The first one is at Wagah in Punjab. The Samjhauta Express plies this route from Amritsar in India to Lahore in Pakistan. The second one, opened in 2006 runs between Munabao (in Rajasthan in India) and Khokhrapar (in Sindh in Pakistan).

Hierarchy of trains
1 Rajdhani Expresses: These are all air-conditioned trains linking major cities to New Delhi. The Rajdhanis have the highest priority and are the fastest trains in India, travelling at about 140 km/h (87 mph). There are only a few stops on a Rajdhani route.
2 Shatabdi and Jan Shatabdi Expresses: The Shatabdi trains are AC intercity seater-type trains. Jan-Shatabdi trains are generally non-AC and thus cheaper.
3 Super-fast Expresses or Mail trains: These are trains that have an average speed greater than 55 km/h (34 mph). Tickets for these trains have an additional super-fast surcharge.
4 Express: These are the most common kind of trains in India. They have more stops than their super-fast counterparts, but they stop only at relatively important intermediate stations.
5 Passenger and Fast Passenger: These are slow trains that stop at every single station, and are the cheapest trains. The entire train consists of the General-type compartments.
6 Suburban trains: Trains that operate in urban areas, usually stop at all stations.

Rail transport in India
Rail transport is a commonly used mode of long-distance transportation in India. Almost all rail operations in India are handled by a state-owned organisation, Indian Railways, under the federal Ministry of Railways.
Railways were introduced to India in 1853, and by the time of India's independence in 1947 they had grown to forty-two rail systems. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one unit—Indian Railways—to form one of the largest networks in the world.
A plan for a rail system in India was first put forward in 1832, but no further steps were taken for more than a decade. In 1844, the Governor-General of India Lord Hardinge allowed private entrepreneurs to set up a rail system in India. The East India Company (and later the British Government) encouraged new railway companies backed by private investors under a scheme that would provide land and guarantee an annual return of up to five percent during the initial years of operation

The Authority was operationalized in February, 1995 with the appointment of full time Chairman and other Members.
