Pakistan’s rich railway history began with the Karachi to Kotri line, inaugurated in 1858. This railway line, stretching across 105 miles, was the first to connect Karachi with the interior regions of Sindh, marking a turning point in the region’s transport infrastructure. Built under British colonial rule, the line significantly boosted trade, allowing efficient movement of goods and passengers between Karachi’s bustling port and inland areas.
Today, the Karachi-Kotri line stands as a testament to Pakistan’s historic ties with rail travel, representing a legacy of innovation that shaped modern transportation in the country.
