Shahdara Bagh–Chak Amru Branch Line (Urdu: شاہدرہ باغ-چک امرو فرعی ریلوے خط) is one of several branch lines in Pakistan, operated and maintained by Pakistan Railways. The line originally ran from Shahdara Bagh Junction station to Chak Amru station, however the line now ends at Narowal Junction. The total length of this railway line is 132 kilometers (82 mi) to Chak Amru station and 79 kilometers (49 mi) to Narowal Junction. There are 15 railway stations from Shahdara Bagh Junction to Narowal Junction. The line is important in that it connects Sialkot with other parts of the country by rail.
Residents living along the closed section have demanded for years that the line be reopened, including Shakargarh MPA Ghayasuddin. In February 2017, the Ministry of Railways began a new study for the reconstruction of the 45 kilometers (28 mi) Narowal-Chak Amru section.
