  • The Trans-Baluchistan Railway was constructed as part of a strategic military route between the British Raj (now Pakistan) and Persia (now Iran). The first section from Quetta (Pakistan) to Nushki (Pakistan) branch line was opened on 15/11/1905. The railway construction west of Nushki towards Iran was named the Nushki Extension Railway and the railway line reached the Iranian town of Duzdap (now Zahedan) on 1/10/1922. However, the military importance of the line had declined after WW1 and in 1931, the 221 kilometer section between Nok Kundi and Duzdap (Zahedan) was closed down and track removed to be used elsewhere. World War II however, renewed interest in the Quetta-Zahedan link with the British forces wanting to aid the Soviet forces by supplying material through Persia (now Iran). The Quetta-Zahedan link was reopened on 20/4/1940. An interesting account of the Quetta-Zaheda
