A two-coach freight train recently completed a test run on a historic British-era railway track in Rawalpindi, marking a significant milestone after a long period of inactivity. The railway line, which was originally laid in 1892, runs from the station to the 502 Workshop and was constructed during British rule to fulfill military needs.
Despite being over a century old, the track has maintained its structural integrity, with bolts, fittings, and components showing no significant signs of rust or weakening. The track still serves the same military purpose for which it was built, as its route near Kacheri Chowk has remained largely unchanged over the years. Recently, the unique sight of the freight train passing through the area has garnered attention from motorists, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and even residents who had never witnessed the railway in operation before.
The historic railway track remains an essential asset from a military standpoint, as reported by ProPakistani.
