Sivok-Rangpo Railway Line, a 44.96 km long 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge line connecting the Indian states of West Bengal (Sivok railway station on New Jalpaiguri–Alipurduar–Samuktala Road line near Siliguri in Darjeeling district) and Sikkim (Rangpo Railway Station in Pakyong District), is currently under construction. The railway line is strategically important for the national security and socio-economic develop, as the line will help troops and armaments move faster towards the Indo-Tibet border.

In the second phase and third phase, this line will be extended eastward to Gangtok (capital of Sikkim) and then to the Nathu La pass (on Sikkim's eastern border with Tibet). A separate fork from Melli will be extended towards west to Dentam.
