I have found memories of travelling on Railways every Pakistani is encouraged to travel on it

I hope some day I can travel again so I can live my memories of when I was child again, the hassle and bussle at stations
the Quli's bringing in stuff into the train. People striving to sit by the window and you and cousines jumping up to get the upper beds on train.

The views of Pakistani vilages and outside as train moved

Train stopping and people getting out to grab quick snacks people don't know what they are missing, its not same as travelling on plane

It's not rocket science to revive Railways

30 Locomotives send them out to US for fixes
15 Locomotives fix them in Pakistan
25 Locomotives buy brand new from outside

Request Locomotives instead of F16 , we have more then enough fighter jets specially with local programs like JF17 thunder
