Zhob Valley Railway: A Historical and Iconic Railway in Balochistan

Zhob Valley Railway total length of this railway line was 298 kilometers (185 mi) with 14 railway stations. Upon competition, the 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) railway became the longest narrow gauge system in the Indo-Pak region. it was built in two sections between 1916 and 1920. The first section was built from Boston Junction to Muslimbagh during World War I by the Balochistan Chrome Ore Company and opened in 1916.
The second section was built by the North Western State Railway as an extension from Muslimbagh to Fort Sandeman (now Zhob). Work began in 1920 and reached Qila Saifullah in 1927 and Zhob in 1930. The intent to extend the railway from Zhob to Bannu, but never materialized.
