 PAKISTAN RAILWAYS
Brief History
S ir Henry Edward Frere was appointed Commissioner of Sindh
after its annexation with Bombay in 1847. It was he who discovered
the potential of Karachi as a seaport and conceived the idea of a
railway line to up country and recommended in 1855 Karachi to be
made a seaport. The survey for construction of a railway line from
Karachi was started in 1858. Initially a railway line was proposed
from Karachi City to Kotri, then steam navigation through rivers
Indus/Chenab up to Multan and from there on a Railway line to
Lahore and beyond.

The 13th of May, 1861 was historical day when the first railway line
was opened for public traffic between Karachi City and Kotri, a
distance of 169 Kms. By 1897 the line from Keamari to Kotri was
converted to double track.

Different sections of this part of railway in the Sub-continent, which

now comprise Pakistan Railways, were constructed in the last
quarter of the 19th century and early part of the 20th century.
Unlike other rail networks in the Sub-continent during British era,
most of the sections (of Pakistan Railways) were constructed as
strategic lines to safeguard the British Empire in the Sub-continent.
It is an interesting coincidence that the present alignment of railway
line from Peshawar to Karachi closely follows Alexander's line of
march through the Hindu kush to the sea.

1
In 1885, the Sindh, Punjab and Delhi Railways were purchased by
the Secretary of State for India. On 1st January, 1886 this line and
other State Railways (the Indus Valley, the Punjab Northern,
inclusive of Sindh Sagar Eastern section, and the Kandahar or
Sindh-Pishin Southern section) were integrated and North
Western State Railway was formed; which was later on renamed as
North Western Railways

At the time of Independence, the NWR was bifurcated with 1,847

route miles lying in India, and 5,048 route miles in Pakistan. In
1954 the Railway line was extended to Mardan and Charsadda and
in 1956 Jacobabad - Kashmore narrow-gauge section (2'-6'') was
converted into broad-gauge section. Construction of Kot Adu-
Kashmor line was completed in 1973, providing an alternate route
from Karachi to up country, along right bank of River Indus. Meter-
gauge line from Hyderabad to Khokropar was converted to broad-
gauge in two stages. From Hyderabad to Mirpur Khas
66.07 kilometer in 1967 & Mirpur Khas to Khokropar (Zero Point)
133 kilometer in 2006.

Route & Track Length:

Pakistan Railways is a two-gauge system i.e., broad-gauge and
meter-gauge. The gauge-wise track length on 30th June, 2014 is as
under;

Route Kilometers Track Kilometers

Broad-gauge 7479 11389

Meter-gauge 312 389

Total 7791 11778

 Organization:
Pakistan Railways is a Federal Government Department under
Ministry of Railways. The Secretary for Ministry of Railways is the
ex-officio Chairman of the Railway Board.

Pakistan Railway comprises of three functional units. The

Operating Unit, the Manufacturing & Services Unit and Welfare &
Special Initiative Unit, each headed by a General Manager who
reports to the Secretary/Chairman Railways for the performance of
his unit. The Operating unit is located in the historic North Western
Railway Headquarter building, an imposing landmark of colonial-era
architecture of Lahore. It oversees train operations and all related
functions. Besides, three Additional General Managers, heading
Infrastructure, Traffic and Mechanical unit, various specialized head
of departments also assist the General Manager Operations.

The Manufacturing and Services (M&S) unit is responsible for the

management of the Concrete Sleeper Factories, Locomotive and
Carriage Factories. The Walfare & Special Initiative Unit manages
all Railway owned Schools, Hospitals , Sports and related
procurement.

Pakistan Railway comprises of seven territorial operating Divisions

viz: Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, Sukkur, Karachi &
Quetta, besides, Workshops Division at Moghalpura, Lahore and an
administrative Division at Headquarter Office, Lahore. Each territorial
and Workshops Division are headed by a Divisional Superintendent
directly under the auspices of General Manager Operations.The
Divisional Superintendents are assisted by the Divisional and
Assistant Officers of their respective Departments i.e. Engineering
Departments like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Signal &
Telecommunications, Medical, Transportation & Commercial,
Chief Planning & Project Officer, Accounts, Railway Police and
Information Technology Departments.

 CHAPTER-IV
Pakistan Railway Academy
1. Introduction:
In 1925, a small Railway Training School of the legendary North
Western Railway was originally established in Layallpur (now
Faisalabad). It was shifted to the present purpose-built
Walton campus named as Walton Training School. This institution
was named after Col. C.E. Walton, the Agent (as the General
Manager was then known) of the North Western Railways. In no
time, the Walton Training School became the hub of the suburb of
Lahore and the area became famous as "WALTON".

The Walton Training School took on the character and repute of its
parent organization, the North Western Railways; symbolizing the best
traditions of service, innovation, development and organizational
excellence. The performance standards of this institution received
international acclaim when, in 1954, its premises were selected by the
ECAFE (Economic Commission for Asia and Far East)- a United
Nations agency, to establish their regional Railway training centre for
training of Railway Officers and senior supervisors of Asia and the Far
East in Signaling and Advanced Railway Operations. Control of the
Center was transferred to the Government of Pakistan in January
1958. In July 1982, this academy was upgraded as the Pakistan Inter-
Regional Railway Training
College, while in May 1983, it was again renamed as Directorate of
Research and Training and finally in July 2000, it got the present
name as "Pakistan Railway Academy".

Keeping in view the growing training needs of the mother

organization, the academy conducts about 14 Pre-service

83
induction training, 43 promotion and 30 refresher Programes yearly
for Railway staff of all grades, disciplines and departments.
Officers inducted into various departments of the Pakistan Railways
through the Federal Public Service Commission as
Probationers also receive their initial training in the academy.

 CHAPTER-V
Railway Inspectorate
Federal Government Inspector of Railways (FGIR):

1. Brief History:
Prior to 1908, control over Railways was exercised by Government
through consulting Engineers. However, in 1908 a new system of
Governmental control of Railway was introduced and the
Government Inspectors were appointed at Calcutta, Lucknow,
Lahore, Bombay and Madras and were placed under the
administrative control of the Railway Board (India).

The Railway Inspectorate remained a part of the Railway Board which

was responsible for the administration of Railways in India. The Pacific
Locomotive Committee in 1938, however, recommended that the
Railway Inspectorate should be separated from Railway Board on the
Principles, that those responsible for the inspection of Railways and
holding of enquiries into the causes of accidents should be
independent of the authority administering the Railways in accordance
with Section 181 (3) of the Government of India Act 1935. This
recommendation was approved by the Legislative
Assembly in 1939 and by the Council of State in 1940 and
accepted by the Government of India. Accordingly, the Inspectorate
was separated from the Railway Board and placed under the
Communications Department from 12th May 1941.

In India the Inspectorate is still working on the above lines and is

not under the Railway Board. The Designation of Government
Inspector has, however, been changed to Commissioner (Safety).

87
Two Inspectorate Circles were established in Pakistan one in west
and other in East Pakistan and were placed under Ministry of
Communications. The East Pakistan Circle was subsequently
abolished due to "economy campaign" and since then there is only
one Government Inspector of Railways in Pakistan.

The Federal Government Inspector of Railways as generally

recognized has technical advisory and quasi-judicial functions and
has no executive authority. He is supposed to be the Eyes & Ears
of the Federal Government to keep a watch over the general
working and efficiency of the Railways especially with regard to the
safety standards.

3. Major Responsibility:
The duties and functions of the Federal Government Inspector of
Railways as laid down in the Railway Act, focus mainly on the
safety aspect of Railway constructions, maintenance and operation.
While inspecting track structures, rolling stock, signaling and
interlocking installation while examining station records operational
staff, repair facilities, etc. and while holding enquiries into
accidents, the safety aspect is always borne in mind and the
reports and recommendations are based on this aspect.
The function of FGIR further encircles:-

(i) Inspections of new line

To inspect new railway lines with a view to determine
whether they are fit to be opened for the public carriage of
passengers, and to report thereon to the Federal
Government as required under the Act.

88
 (ii) Approval of plans and other works
The Federal Government Inspector of Railways performs
the function of scrutiny and formal sanction of yard
remodeling plans, signal diagrams, working rules and all
other new Engineering, Mechanical and Signaling works
concerning lines used by passenger trains.

(iii) Periodical Inspections

To make such periodical or other inspection of Railway or
rolling stock and used thereon, as the Federal Government
may direct. This generally covers about 30% of the route
mileage on proper Annual Inspections and another 25%
route mileage annually as general tour Inspection.

(vi) Accident enquiries and Rules for holding enquiries

The Federal Government Inspector is required to hold an
enquiry into any accident to a passenger train which is
attended with loss of human life or with serious injury to
any person in the train, or damage to property of a
specified value. He may, however, decide to hold an
enquiry into any accident at his discretion or may order an
enquiry in certain cases by Railway Officers at appropriate
level on his behalf.

 CHAPTER-VII
Railway Estate Development & Marketing Company:
Pakistan Railway owns a very large land bank. Some of land is surplus
to its operational use. Taking cognizance of this opportunity, a
Directorate of Marketing was established in Ministry of Railways in
2000, which was given the task of commercial exploitation of surplus
Railway land, franchising, awarding and selling rights to international
brands and advertizing/Bill boards over Pakistan Railway net work.
The revenue so generated from these non-core resources of Pakistan
Railways was envisaged to support railway operations.

In order to further promote business of advertisement, marketing &

real estate projects, a company by the name of Railway Estate
Development and Marketing Company (Pvt) Limited (REDAMCO)
was established on 12th March 2012 and is registered with Security
Exchange Commission of Pakistan. Though the company is
relatively very young, but it is supported by 150 years of experience
and wisdom of Pakistan Railway.

REDAMCO is currently serving clients like, Aqafina, Coca-cola, Habib

Bank, Mezan Bank, Pepsi, KFC, Pizza Hutt, Shapes, Mobblink U-fone,
Telenor, Royal palm Golf and Country Club. REDAMCO is managed
by a Board of Directors, which consists as under:-

1. Secretary/Chairman Railway Director/Chairman

2. Member Finance Ministry of Railways Director
3. Additional General Manager/Infrastructure Director
Pakistan Railways.
4. Managing Director / CEO Director
(R)
5. Mr. justice Muhammad Raza Khan, Director
6. Barrister Zafrullah Khan, Director
7. Muhammad Bashir Ch Director

92
The Directors from private sector are eminent professionals.
REDAMCO is a private company where no invitation is issued to
the Public to subscribe for any share of the company.

The authorized share of the Company is Rs.100,000/- which is

divided into 10,000 shares of Rs.10/- each. The detail is as under.

Government of Pakistan/Ministry of Railways through its 9990

secretary.

Managing Director/REDAMCO (Nominee Ministry of 10

Railways)

All shares are under the control of board of directors and are
allotted on terms and conditions specified by the Board.

Since inception of Directorate of Marketing, 52 real estate projects

have been under taken and an amount of Rs. 603 Million has been
generated as revenue so far while Rs. 135.2 Million has also been
generated from Advertisement/ Billboards and Selling rights.

In December 2013 a paradigm shift in business was introduced,

whereby, instead of leasing out properties on long leases, value
addition of assets was initiated through a Real Estate Development
Programe of REDAMCO, according to which a consortium of
Technical, Financial and Legal consultants was hired consisting of
M/s Pro-Mag, KMPG & Mandviwala. In the first instance, a study of
Railway land bank available in Karachi Division would be undertaken that
would suggest a transaction structure leading to a selection of a
developer for our real Estate Projects. This transaction advisory service
by the consultant is presently underway and would provide such services
for five (5) Pakistan Railway properties in Karachi Division. REDAMCO
hopes to generate windfall revenue from this exercise.

93
A similar exercise has been initiated in other Divisions of Pakistan
Railways too and prequalification of the consultants is underway.

REDAMCO hopes to introduce the concept of Off-Taking

contracting as a means of risk management and visit mitigation by
considering to offer a certain percentage of its future undertakings
to PR employees.

REDAMCO has initiated capacity building of its personnel and

seeking to bring together a team from entry level to sector specialist
in the field of Finance, Marketing, IT & Engineering and Social
Sciences,

In this regards every personnel in REDAMCO has been imparted

training in premier training institutes of the country.

REDAMCO, now has a solid business map planned into its

business culture, reflecting organization value that would be
sustainable & profitable.
