I don’t know why I would still prefer to board Karakoram Express at 4 PM at Lahore Railway Station and arrive Karachi next morning. This is the only transport I can travel while sleeping. And now I am also hoping for bullet train

I do hope Pakistan Railway gets back its lost glory. This indeed is a poor man's travel mode.

Now we can easily narrate and quote the pre-Ballor and post-Ballor era of the deceased Railway after the fair name of our greatest railway minister.

I share your sorrow at the state of PR. Someday, I'd love to travel across width & breadth of Pakistan on a train. One day.

Let us see what the new government does in the next five years. There is time, and there are things to do. So, let us just wait and see.

To me there has always been a kind of romance attached to train travel. Specially those Old Steam Engines.... down the memory lane, I still remember some of my memorable trip to Karachi from Lahore by train , the bellow of the engine and the whine of the whistle ... me , my family specially my baba (my best friend) , few nice story books & songs ... traveling was fun than..... I used to count all the big stations and small junctions ... still so fresh in my mind .....

Mahwish, Do you remember watching the telegraph poles go by? The wires went up and down, up and down as they sagged between the poles. Even as a grown up, I have sat by the window and been mesmerised by the wires.

Oh yes Salman sahib those swinging wires..... ah name anything which I don't like or admire while watching outside the window.... tracks, wires, those dry bushes in the desert, life in small villages oh yes and those lights in some far flung areas at night... or it could be another train passed by..... last I traveled when I was in my early teens.... longgg ago.

Railway changed the world in the 19th century and it can change your world now.
But for that Pakistan Railways has to change first. Who will change this. Another Balor? - At 31 May 2013 at 10:13, Salman Rashid said...

Anonymous, We don't know right now, but I have some faith in Nawaz Sharif this time. He might yet turn the railway around.

There is nothing like the sound of the big steel wheels on the rails; the clickety-clack that becomes Beautiful Noise in Neil Diamond's song of the same title. Even without the romantic sound of steam trains, the heart-warming thrum of the big diesels was fun enough, especially if you got a chance to ride in the locomotive as I did several times. And nothing beat the magic of lying down on the berth at, say, Multan around 10.00 pm and being roused by the sound of the vendors crying breakfast at Rohri. Magic. My greatest dream is to get on a train at Howrah station (Kolkata) and disembark at Victoria in London. What a journey that will be!. The last time I attempted a train was three years ago. Departure was late by over ten hours and I just gave up.
