People who visit Golra Shariff Railway Station can walk-through old-engines. There are two engine gauges, steam engines, while the other two are broad-gauge engines. The broad gauge steam locomotive engines is a Canadian while other engine is Burki which was used sometimes on Lahore or Khanewal tracks.
The history of buggies attached with the engines has their own history. It has been said that these belongs to Lorn Mountbatten and Maharaja of Jodhpur. In addition, a German postal Buggy and British Luxury Car focuses the visitors’ attention.
The railway’s old passenger waiting room is one of a memorial glimpse of the history. Tools and other remaining of 1880’s has been placed with Railway equipment, which Pakistan occupied them in 1965 war with India. These equipment includes old guns, clothing, oil lamps, lamps, dishes, watches, bells, train models, stoves, heaters, fans, medical equipment, furniture, documents and photos.

Most artifacts belong to the era of British rule when the Pakistan Railways was known as the North Western Railway.

A Sewage Pipe of Victorian Style
He told that the waiting room was built in 1882 and claimed that it is still being kept in the original form.
Fareed-ul-Haque told that, in the usual twenty to thirty people come here, while through the weekend it is busy enough as it is overstretched to hundreds. Similarly, the students from schools that are brought here and museum entry fee is ten bucks, which is in fact a platform ticket.
