Tanintharyi Line

Current section in operation includes the part from Mawlamyaing Station to Thayetchaung.

It is expected to become a part of a pan-Asian railway network, allowing spur connections specifically to Thailand.

A spur connection (95 km as the crow flies) between the SRT rail head at Nam Tok railway station in Kanchanaburi Province to Dawei Station through mountains is planned by Thai interests backed by Japanese funding, though other rail connections are certainly possible.

1994 saw the start of construction of the initially isolated 160 km (99 mi) Ye-Dawei (Tavoy) railway, completed March 1998.

This allowed the long isolated section south to Ye and later Dawei (Tavoy) to receive trains from the north of the country.
