Putting PR on right track: 23 locomotives to arrive today
ISLAMABAD: The first consignment of 23 locomotives from China will arrive today (Monday) for use in freight operations. According to a Pakistan Railways official, the freight train operations would be increased gradually. He said that by the end of this year, at least six freight trains would be made operational, which would help generate revenue of Rs 20 million to Rs 25 million per day. “At present, three to four freight trains are being operated on a daily basis, which have increased revenue,” he added. He said the entire fleet of locomotives had outlived their utility and the older locomotives needed to be replaced with new ones as soon as possible. On the directives of Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique, he said that all-out efforts were being made to ensure timely arrival and departure of trains and make Pakistan Railways a profitable organisation.
He added that dedication and hard work was required to steer the department out of challenges. Private investment would be welcomed where it was needed and it would be done through a transparent method, he added.
The official said that steps were being taken to utilise the PR land in the most efficient way. He said that the department was also going for computerising data of its lands.
