Railways Electrification:
The electric traction system between Lahore to Khanewal was installed on single line in 1969 with a fleet of 29 Electric Locomotives. It remained in operation upto October, 2009. On launching of Doubling of Track Project from Khanewal to Raiwind the operation of train with ET Locomotives was suspended. After completion of Doubling of Track Project between Khanewal-Sahiwal the ET operation on single line was not possible, hence it was completely closed in November,
2009. Now the electrification of main line (ML-1) from Lahore to Karachi (1260km) is included under China-Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a priority project of Government of Pakistan. Feasibility Study for the project is under way, which would decide technical & financial viability of the project, followed by its detailed designs and implementation.
