KARACHI: The second freight train carrying 75 containers is leaving for Lahore on Friday.

KARACHI: Pakistan Railways (PR) on Friday started the second dedicated freight train service for Lahore under the public-private partnership.

Inaugurating the train service, a joint project of PR and Marine Group of Companies, Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed announced running of 20 freight and passenger trains by the end of the current year.

According to the minister, the National Logistics Cell along with two Dubai-based firms and a company from Karachi have shown keen interest in running freight trains.

In addition, two VIP trains will also be introduced, with the first train starting from Mar 23, he said. He further announced that PR’s freight head office will be shifted to Karachi from Lahore.

The minister disclosed that investment worth billions of dollars was coming to railways soon. There would be a revolution through Main Line-1 (ML-1) project which is meant to replace existing tracks from Karachi to Peshawar, he said, adding: “After the completion of ML-1, trains would be run on that track at a speed of 160 per kilometre.”

The minister said Railways saved one million litres of diesel and recorded a growth of eight per cent in passenger traffic during the last four months.

He said that new tracks would be laid down across Sindh as major train services are running overcapacity by up to 160pc.

The minister went on to add that all steel mills could be engaged into useful production activity if all tracks were manufactured locally.

Expressing apprehensions over the pace of work on Karachi Circular Railways, the minister said that he was keen to see the project through to facilitate the people of Karachi.

Train tracking system to improve travel experience

February 9, 2019

LAHORE: People who frequently commute by trains won’t have to wait at the stations for hours as the Pakistan Railways has completed the installation of a tracker system which will be inaugurated on February 12. The developer of the system donated it free of cost to PR.

The tracker systems were installed in train engines across the country in order to update their systems. Through the GPRS tracker system, passengers will be able to get information about their train’s timings on their mobile phones before they reach the railway station.

The passenger will receive all the information, including the train’s timings, in the Urdu and English languages. They will also get information during travel on engine failures and replacements. Passengers, governmental and nongovernmental employees and students, who travel on a daily basis by train, will be able to take advantage of the tracking system.

The tracker has been installed in all trains that go to Karachi, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Sargodha and Kasur. According to the source, the speed of the train and record of the last two weeks can also be obtained through the software.

In this regard, the tracking system would also be linked to the Lahore Central Control Room Office. The staff will also be able to monitor the position of trains through TV screens.

According to the Railways mechanical department staff members, the tracker system will start working immediately after locomotive engines start. Moreover, through a specific mobile application, passengers can find out the location of any train. The passenger will have to type their train number to get information about the arrival time.

Muhammad Mudassir, who runs a software company, has introduced the tracker system. “My father is a former employee of the Pakistan Railways. We grew up travelling by trains. Many times we waited for hours for trains which were delayed without any information being given to the passengers.

I came up with the idea to work on the tracker system when my family and I faced problems like thousands of other commuters,” he said. The system will ring a bell if the train will be 30 minutes away from the station.

“I could sell this system for Rs 80 million, but I gave it to Pakistan Railways free of charge,” claims Mudassir.

Railways Chairman Dr Raja Jalal Sultan Sikander said the installation of the tracker system will also reduce the rush of people at train stations. “Most importantly, people will save their time by reaching the station a few minutes before the arrival of the train.”

Pakistan Railways Additional General Manager Mohammad Ejaz Abro said that the tracker system will also inform the administration just as the train leaves the engine shed and just as it departs from the station. Moreover, after getting information through the tracker system, an alternate engine will immediately be moved in case of a failure.

Should learn to start making these engines in Pakistan... it's not rocket science.

Make a deal with Germany, Japan or Spain and get the required technology. Private sector can also be involved in it.

I think Indonesia also make the train engines.
 
If i am not mistaken a gud 5 yrs back South korea offered us a dozen or so old GE engines which were to be overhauled.. Some in south korea and rest here...
Wud b a gud option for us if we can get some tot from them too

You got to get this out of your system, Karachi is a port and hence is a tax collection point and is not the only tax generator, a lot of good sare for other parts of the country and hence the tax being collected was generated or paid for by the people of the other provinces and hence that tax can be allocated to that province. So please stop falling for these divide and rule mantras and let is unite and make Pakistan great.
