This video was shot from the driver's cabin of Pakistan Railways locomotive GMU30 in 1994. The trip covers departure from Karachi Cantt, station upto the first stop at Drigh Road station, Karachi.
Thanks for uploading. Old memories. The train parked next to it is Tezgam I bet because it used to depart at 4.30 in those days and the color scheme was alloted to it. In 1994, PR introduced specific color schemes for major trains. Tezgam had this scheme that resembles north indian railways, awami had greyish patterns and khyber mail had red or brown type carriages. I don't remember other colors but Tezro and Chenab also had some specific colors and I guess also Shalimar. Plz post other old vds
Mehran Express was localaised train and went upto Mirpurkhas. I have seen it coming Hyderabad at around 7 o clock, jam packed. In mid sixties, prime tranport was railways. Then roads were popular. Finally this train was stopped. May be this train has been resumed. Passengers coming from up country like to travel Mirpurkhas, by train and one train is running at around 7 o clock in the evening.
