Bolan Pass (after Railway was made), Circa 1880.
The pass is approximately 60 miles long (100 km) and is at an altitude of 5,880 feet (1,792 metres). Due to its strategic location, the pass has traditionally been used as a gateway to India by traders, invaders and nomadic tribes. The railroad cuts through the pass en route to the Afghanistan frontier.
Photograph of the Bolan Pass from the Macnabb Collection (Col James Henry Erskine Reid): Album of Miscellaneous views, taken in the 1880's. The Bolan Pass is a gap in the central Brahui Mountain Range, Pakistan.

Still resemble to very old British transport era of the subcontinent. Trains and the stations in Pakistan need to be upgraded.

Lahore, The Capital Of Punjab Province, Is Considered The Cultural Centre Of Pakistan.
Islam Came Here After The Advent Of Mahmud Of Ghazni In 1021 AD, And It Was Subsequently Ruled By A Succession Of Dynasties Of The Delhi Sultanate, Followed By The Mughals, The Sikhs And The British. It Reached Its Apogee Under The Mughals, Known As The Garden City And With Enough Architecture To Rank It With Other Great Mughal Centres Like Delhi, Agra And Fatehpur Sikri.
The British Took Control Of Lahore From The Sikhs In 1849, And Transformed Its Landscape With Railways, Factories And Roads. They Continued The Tradition Of Embellishing It With Architecture, Constructing Some Of The Finer Examples Of Colonial Buildings In The Indo-Islamic-Gothic-Victorian Style Here.
