Railway -
Nagaland was first connected to the railway line in 1903 when the
1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) wide metre gauge railway track earlier
laid by Assam Bengal Railway from Chittagong to Lumding was
extended to Tinsukia on the Dibru–Sadiya line.
The railway network in the state is minimal with the Dimapur
railway station on the Lumding–Dibrugarh rail section as the only
railway station in Nagaland. Broad gauge lines run 12.84
kilometres (7.98 mi), National Highway roads 365.3 kilometres
(227.0 mi), and state roads 1,094.5 kilometres (680.1 mi).
