Barak Valley Express (numbers 15693/15694) was a daily mail/express train that used to connect Silchar, a town in the south of Assam, to Lumding Jn, in Northeast India.[1] The train was cancelled in September 2014 due to gauge conversion in the North Cachar Hills section of North East Frontier Railway, part of Indian Railways.[2] Though it was a mail/express type train, due to its timings and stops it was also considered a passenger train.
