PAKISTAN RAILWAYS

Brief History

Sir Henry Edward Frere was appointed Commissioner of Sind 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 Karachi to be a seaport in 1855. 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 Kiamari 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 Sind, 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 Sind 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 - Kashmor 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

Khokhropar was converted to broad-gauge in two stages, from

Hyderabad to Mirpur Khas 66.07 kilometer in 1967 & Mirpur

Khas to Khokhropar (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, 2016

is as under;

Route Kilometers Track Kilometers

Broad-gauge 7479 11492

Meter-gauge 312 389

Total 7791 11881 2

Mission Statement

CHAPTER-I

Operating Unit

A. Infrastructure: The Infrastructure unit is headed by the Additional General Manager/

Infrastructure, who is assisted by the following head of departments.

1. Chief Engineer Open Line. 2. Chief Engineer Signal. 3. Chief Engineer Telecommunication. 4. Chief Engineer Design. 5. Director Property and Land. 6. Directorate of Information Technology. 7. Chief Engineer/S&C. 8. MD/Stations Upgrades.

Civil Engineering Department:

1. On 13th May 1861, the first Railway line was opened

between Karachi and Kotri with a total distance of 169 kms. At

present the route kilometer is 7791 km & running track

kilometer is 9092 km. The condition of track infrastructure is

generally satisfactory. Various sections have been up-graded

for safety, axle load & traffic requirements.

2. The permanent way ensures safety of rolling stock and smooth

train operation. The track components are subjected to continuous

wear and tear under the dynamic impact of moving trains and have

to be replaced at regular intervals to keep the track geometry

within safe parameters.

3. Salient Features:

= 7791 Kms * Route Kilometers

* Broad Gauge (1676 mm) = 7479 Kms

* Meter Gauge (1000 mm) = 312 Kms

* Running Track = 9092 Kms

7

Level Crossings:- Details of Level Crossing on the Pakistan Railways Network is as under:-

* Total Level Crossings = 3389 *Nos.

* Total Manned Level Crossings = 1514 *Nos.

* Total Un-manned Level Crossings = 1875 *Nos. Efforts are underway to eliminate at grade crossings as a policy.

However, in order to avoid accidents at Un-manned level Crossings,

these level crossings are being converted into Manned Level

Crossings, as an interim measure, subject to availability of financial

resources. The matter of conversion of unmanned level crossings

into manned level crossings is being persuaded vigorously with the

provincial governments. Seventy five (75) unmanned level crossings

have been up-graded into Manned Level Crossing during 2015-2016. * Level Crossings of permanently closed sections have been deleted.

4. The Classification of track on Pakistan Railways is as under:-

Description Max. speed (Km/h) Length (Kms)

Primary-A 105 4771

Primary-B 95 3388

Secondary 75 1336

Tertiary 65 1997

Meter Gauge 55 389

Total - 11881 5. Repair & Maintenance:

a) Track During the year 2015-2016, an amount of Rs. 1575 millions

was allocated for procurement of track material against the

actual requirements of Rs.11641.3 millions, so essential

and un-avoidable track material could only be procured for

replacement of un-serviceable/worn out rails, sleepers and

fastenings etc, to keep the track fit for safe train operation.

8

b) Buildings: Pakistan Railways has vast infrastructure comprising

service and residential buildings scattered all over the

country. There are 70100 residential buildings, which

include 67939 staff quarters, 1809 houses for Senior

Scale Officials and 423 officers Residences. Service

buildings include Stations, Schools, Hospitals, Offices,

Stores/Sheds, Workshops, Rest Houses and running

rooms etc, which have an area of 25.807 millions Sft. c) Bridges:

There are 13959 Railway bridges including 532 major and

13427 minor bridges over the system. Most of the bridges

were constructed well before partition, when Railway System

was introduced in the subcontinent during 19th century and

have completed their useful life. Due to dedicated inspection

and regular maintenance, bridges are generally in satisfactory

condition for safe train operation. Bridges which require

major repairs or rehabilitation are being attended through

following different ongoing projects.

1. Bridge Rehabilitation Project has to rehabilitate 159 Bridges,

out of which rehabilitation of 85 bridges has been completed.

2. Rehabilitation of Flood damages project has to rehabilitate

69 bridges, out of which 46 have been completed and work

on remaining will be completed upto June, 2017.

3. Three ongoing Track renewal projects will rehabilitate 34

Bridges out of which 07 have been completed and

remaining are expected to be completed upto June, 2017.

4. Huge painting area of Major & Minor Bridges was

over due painting since long. During 2015-16

(4762778 Sft) area has been painted.

9

Bridges Reh: Projects:

Mission Statement: Most of the Bridges over the Pakistan Railways network are more

than 100 years old. According to State Railway code the life of

masonry substructure of bridges is supposed as 100 years, while for

superstructure (steel bridge) is supposed as 60 years. Accordingly

almost 86% bridges have completed their designed life. At present, there are 13,959 Bridges on Pakistan Railways

network, out of which, 281 bridges were identified in acute

distress, requiring immediate action for rehabilitation. Therefore,

these bridges were including in different projects, out of which

191 bridges have been completed and remaining will be

completed at the end of financial year 2016- 2017. The total cost

of rehabilitation of these bridges is Rs. 1,510/- Million. Objectives:

* Ensuring rehabilitation as per safety standards. *

To remove speed restrictions over weak bridges.

* Cost effective maintenance, in reducing the operational

cost. * To meet with the increased requirements of Freight &

Passenger Sectors.

Achievements:

Due to financial constraints and time over run, only 98 bridges

over various Sections of Pakistan Railways could be

rehabilitated uptill 30-06-2016 and an expenditure of Rs.

461.789 Million was incurred. This project has been closed

with effect from 30-06- 2016, with a reduced scope of work.

section of Sukkur division and Lodhran and Shahdra Bagh

sections of Multan division which will increase the

operational efficiency through incorporation of new safety

feature as ATP and track circuiting. 6 Maintenance staff has been instructed to be extremely

cautious with regard to maintenance of track rolling

stock & signaling gears. 7 Special Bulletins/Instructions for the guidance of staff

are issued on monthly basis by the Headquarters Office

as well as Operating Divisions.

Marketing Department During 2015-16:

Marketing is a form of communication between an organization and

its customers with the goal of selling products or services to them.

Communicating the value of services is a key aspect of marketing.

Marketing department was created in Railways to develop a strategy

for reaching out to customers and encouraging them to use the

services offered by the organization. Marketing department was reformed to capture the market share of core

business activities of the Pakistan Railways after using its best

potential. Robust efforts put in by marketing wing of Pakistan Railways

has resulted in the following landmark achievement during last year.

Performance has shown a considerable improvement during

financial year 2015-2016. Revenue amounting to Rs. 36581.865/-

million was generated as compared to Rs. 31924.758/- million

65

during fiscal year 2014-2015. This increase of Rs.

4657.107/-million i.e. 14.6% more than last year speaks

volumes about excellent performance of the organization.

This earning also surpassed the budgetary target of Rs.

32000.000/ - million by Rs. 4581.865 million. It is also worth

mentioning that the earning of fiscal year 2015-2016 is the

highest ever earning during last seven decades. The Commercial Management of loss making Trains has

been outsourced in order to generate maximum revenue

within existing resources. The expected revenue

generation will be Rs. 3350.917 million.

Besides, the Commercial Management of luggage vans

of two trains (Khyber Mail and Business Train) has been

contracted out to private parties in Rs.159.508 million

and 71.100 million per annum respectively (total Rs.

230.608 million) . Moreover, the Commercial Management of nine Brake

Vans i.e. Green Line, Tazgam, Allama Iqbal Express,

Karachi Express, Millat Express, Jaffar Express,

Karakoram Express, Pakistan Express, & Pak Business

Express, has been out sourced at a total of Rs. 263.073

million. A well planned and calculated reduction was introduced

in the fare tables of a few trains which were running at

loss. It was warmly welcomed by the public and a

substantial number of passengers were added as new

customers during the fiscal year 2015-2016. Keeping in view the ever increasing budgetary target and

market competition, certain non-core activities like train/

station branding have been started to generate extra revenue.

66

Most importantly, a facility of passenger insurance has been

introduced at very nominal charges of Rs. 5/- per passenger.

For this purpose the services of Postal Life Insurance have

been hired and an agreement has been signed to this effect.

MOUs have been signed with different companies to

have ensured traffic. Dry port:

As during the current fiscal year (2015-16), all the operational and

commercial parameters of Pakistan Railways have considerably

improved. The containerized traffic has also taken a quantum

leap. Due to better marketing techniques and efficient handling of

con-tainers, the earning of Dry Ports has approximately increased

50% of the last year. The Pakistan Railways will continue to

facilitate the growing demand of containerized traffic in order to

play its vital role in the development of the country. The earnings

and tonnage of Import & Export traffic handled during the year

2015-2016 per-taining to different Dry ports are tabulated below:-

H. Pakistan Railway Academy

1. Introduction: In 1925, a small Railway Training School of the legendary North

Western Railway was originally established in Lyallpur (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

Government of Pakistan in January 1958. In July 1982, this academy was

renamed as Pakistan Inter- Regional Railway Training College (PIRRTC),

while in May 1983, it was again renamed as Directorate of Research and

Training Eventually in July 2000, it got the present name as "Pakistan

Railway Academy". Keeping in view the growing training needs of the

CHAPTER-IV

Railway Inspectorate

Federal Government Inspector of Railways (FGIR):

1. Brief History:

Uptil 1908, control over Railways was exercised by Government

through consulting Engineers. However, in 1908 a new system of

Governmental control of Railways 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 Railways 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).

110

On the establishment of Pakistan, only two Inspectorate Circles

were established one in west Pakistan and other in East Pakistan

and were placed under the same Ministry i.e. 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. 2. Appointment of Inspectors:

The Federal Government may appoint one or more suitable

persons not below the rank of the General Manager of

Railways Administration, to be the Inspectors of Railways. 3. Major Responsibility: The Federal Government Inspector of Railways has the prime

responsibility by pointing out defects and short comings in

the Railways working and by making useful and pertinent

suggestions conducive to safe travel. 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. Although

the organization is small, consisting of very limited number of officers and

their staff, it renders valuable service by pointing out defects and short-

comings in maintenance and operation of the Railways and by making

suggestions and recommendations for their removal.

111

4. Duties and Functions of the F.G.I.R:

The duties and functions of the Federal Government Inspector
