The '''Jalandhar–Jammu line''' is a railway line connecting {{stnlnk|Jalandhar Cantonment}} and {{stnlnk|Jalandhar City}} in the Indian state of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]] with {{stnlnk|Jammu Tawi}} in [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]]. The line is under the administrative jurisdiction of [[Northern Railway zone|Northern Railway]]. This line was made after Indian Independence in 1947. Normally before partition of India and creation of Pakistan, trains to Jammu Tawi from [[Delhi]] used to run via [[Panipat]], {{stnlnk|Ambala Cantonment}}, [[Ludhiana]], Jalandhar City, [[Amritsar]], [[Lahore]], [[Narowal]] and [[Sialkot]]. But after partition and creation of Pakistan in 1947, the Sialkot–Jammu Tawi line was dismantled and closed permanently. Jammu and Kashmir became cut off from rest of India. Hence in 1949, it was decided to extend the line from Jalandhar City to [[Mukerian]] till [[Pathankot]] and after the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]], this line was extended to Jammu Tawi. This {{convert|216|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} railway line is an important strategic connectivity for Indian Military and Defence. Now the railway station of Jalandhar Cantt is being upgraded to model Railway station.
