Pakistan Railways provide an important mode of Transportation in the farthest corners of the country and bring them closer to Business, sightseeing, pilgrimage, and education. It has been a great integrating force and forms the lifeline of the country by catering to its needs for large-scale movement of people and freight.
The possibility of Karachi as a sea port was first noticed in the mid of 19th century and Sir Henry Edward Frere who was appointed Commissioner of Sindh after its annexation with Bombay in 1847 sought permission from Lord Dalhousie to begin a survey of the seaport. He also initiated the survey for the Railway line in 1858. It was proposed that a railway line from Karachi City to Kotri, steam navigation up the Indus /Chenab up to Multan, and from there another railway line to Lahore and beyond be constructed.
It was on 13th May 1861 that the first railway line was opened for public traffic between Karachi City and Kotri, a distance of 105 miles. The line between Karachi City and Kiamari was opened on 16.6.1889. By 1897 the line from Kiamari to Kotri was doubled.
The railway line from Peshawar to Karachi closely follows Alexander’s line of march through the Hindu Kush to the sea. Different sections on the existing main line from Peshawar to Lahore and Multan and branch lines were constructed in the last quarter of the 19th century and early years of the 20th century.
The 4 sections i.e. Scinde Railways, Indian Flotilla Company, Punjab Railway, and Delhi Railways working in a single company were later on amalgamated into Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railways Company and were purchased by the Secretary of State for India in 1885 and in January 1886 it was named North Western State Railways which was later on renamed as North Western Railways.
At the time of partition, North Western Railways' 1847 route mile was transferred to India leaving route mile 5048 to Pakistan. In 1954 The railway line was extended to Mardan and Charsada sections and in 1956 Jacababad-Kashmore 2’-6’’ line was converted into a broad gauge. The Kot Adu-Kashmore line was constructed between 1969 to 1973 providing an alternate route from Karachi to the upcountry.
