I think the old track is going to remain, since the new line will take about 5-8 years to complete. Also the existing track is laid in a suboptimal manner since the freaking British did it back in the 1800s with primitive technology and no Pak government ever thought about fixing it. The track often goes through longer routes and around hills etc rather than through them. This new track will be more optimized.

Also best to keep the old track, just in case. It maybe sub-optimal but we own it outright and own the trains that run on it.

At 160kmph top speed we don’t need fancy bullet trains, but just one that look sleek but don’t cost an arm and a leg. I hope the Pakistan railways lets go of its ego and goes with the Siemens charger or its Chinese equivalent. There are many variants of this engine but the one run by Virgin trains in Florida is the best of affordability while maintaining service.
