		<description>Thank you vary much for this most informative research. The &lt;b&gt;Mahipar&lt;/b&gt; furnicular was connected with the hydrolectric project on the river for the power supply of Kabul.</description>

		<description>Coccodrillo&gt; Oui effectivement, le chemin de fer s&#039;arrête avant la frontière... à Chaman... mais le but de ce chemin de fer n&#039;était pas de relier Kandahar mais de relier et défendre Chaman d&#039;une éventuelle attaque afghane ou russe.

Pour la fréquence des trains sur cette ligne aujourd&#039;hui, en allant sur le site officiel des &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pakrail.com/train_timings.php&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Pakistan Railways&lt;/a&gt; on peut voir qu&#039;il y a un train Quetta-Shelabahg-Chaman par jour dans chaque sens. Le train met environ une heure pour parcourir la distance entre Shelabagh et Chaman en passant par le tunnel Khojak.</description>

		<description>Ce chemin de fer termine avant la frontière. Il n&#039;y a pas de chemins de fer en Afghanistan, sauf deux tronçons d&#039;environ 15 km chacun entrant de l&#039;Uzbekistan et le Tajikistan, dont un en prolongement (à Mazas e Sharif sauf erreur). Donc un gros travail, pour funiculaires et tunnel, resté sans suite.

Je serais curieux de voir combien de trafic a cette ligne aujourd&#039;hui.</description>

		<description>Yes, there was a hydroelectic scheme at Mahipar, on the Kabul River 40 km downstream from Kabul. Though I don&#039;t know if the funicular was connected with this project.</description>

		<description>Andrew&gt; Thanks you for your comment and for the information&#039;s about these unrealized projects.
Thanks also for the link to the photo of this Mahipar Gorge incline. Well it seems that there are no many information about this incline... Was there any project to dig a tunnel in this place? Hydroelectric power plant project?</description>

		<description>In the early 1950s there was a plan to build a new road in Afghanistan running north from Kabul via the Salong Pass, with a series of tunnels. The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/afghanistan/railways/international-plans/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;British ambassador reported&lt;/a&gt; that one suggestion &quot;which held the field for some time [...]  was that the greater part of the tunnelling could be avoided by a funicular railway, but the consequent need for double unloading seems to have led to this solution being discarded.&quot;

There was also some kind of funicular at Mahipar in 1965: see http://www.flickr.com/photos/gumtau/100765228/</description>

		<description>Jan&gt; Après que tu m&#039;aies communiqué la photo du plan incliné, j&#039;ai fait des recherches qui m&#039;ont pris plusieurs semaines. Cela a été vraiment passionnant pour connaître toute l&#039;histoire de cette photo et des plan inclinés de Khojak.</description>
