Preserving the echoes of the North-Western Railway
A masterpiece of Victorian engineering, this bridge stands as a sentinel over the Indus River. Completed in 1883, it was a crucial link connecting the Punjab with the North-West Frontier, designed by Sir Guildford Molesworth.
The original structure was a double-story bridge, later reinforced in 1929 to handle heavier locomotives. It remains one of the most photographed and strategically important railway landmarks in South Asia.
Pakistan's most iconic and longest-running passenger train service, the Khyber Mail is more than just a train; it is a moving history of the nation.
Starting its journey from Karachi Cantt and ending at Peshawar Cantt, this service has witnessed the birth of the nation. It represents the resilience and continuity of the North-Western Railway legacy into the modern Pakistan Railways era.
Established during the British Raj, the Golra Sharif Junction now houses the most comprehensive Railway Heritage Museum in the country.
From vintage steam engines to the salon of the Last Viceroy, the museum preserves the golden age of steam. It serves as a time capsule for railway enthusiasts and historians alike.
