The Durrës–Tiranërailway was a railway line which initially joined the two biggest cities in Albania:Durrës and Tirana. The line connected to the Shkodër–Vorërailway halfway in Vorë,and to the Durrës-Vlorërailway in Durrës. In September 2013,the Tirana end of the line was dismantled as the Tirana station was torn down to make way for the lengthening of the Tirana main boulevard. As a result,passengers to and from Tirana had to initially use the Vore station in 2013,and later the renovated Kashar station in May 2015. This was closed in 2018 and the tracks lifted. There is now no rail connection between Tirana and Durrës. The Durrës–Tiranëline was built during 1948-1949 based exclusively on work of volunteers and was the second passenger railway in Albania after the Durrës-Peqin railway which had been completed a year earlier.

In 2021 Albanian State Railways signed a contract with Italian company INC for the rehabilitation of the Durrës-Tirana railway line and the construction of a new line out to Mother Teresa Airport. Work appears to have started with the construction of several new culverts.
