Your challenge is to find a way for a trans-continental railroad to be built connecting Moscow in the USSR and New Delhi in the Republic of India with a POD after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947.

What route does this railroad take and how is it protected?
 
The only way would be to get some sort of protected corridor through Pakistani territory using the precedent of the access to Berlin by the Western Allies.
 
If Pakistan got Kashmir and Bangladesh were independent from independence on, the Pakistanis and Indians may be on friendly enough term to allow such a rail link through Pakistani territory. In fact Pakistanis claim Britain allowed Kashmir to go to India just to cause problems for Soviet prospects in India.
