3. INTRODUCTION TO PAKISTAN RAILWAY
History of Pakistan railways
The possibility of Karachi as a sea port was first noticed in the middle of 19th century. Sir Henry Edward Frere was appointed Commissioner of Sindh after its annexation with Bombay in 1847 and sought permission from Lord Dalhousie to begin a survey for a sea port. He also initiated the survey for a railway line in 1858. It was proposed that a railway line from Karachi City to Kotri, steam navigation up the Indus and Chenab rivers up to Multan and from there another railway to Lahore and beyond be constructed. It was on 13 May 1861, that the first railway line was opened for public traffic between Karachi City and Kotri, a distance of 105 miles (169 km). The line between Karachi City and Keamari was opened on 16 June 1889. During 1897 the line from Keamari to Kotri was doubled. Different sections on the existing main line from Peshawar to Lahore and Multan and branch lines were constructed in the

    The first ever Transcontinental Railroad in America was completed with the help of the Chinese who contributed greatly to its construction. Despite the major role that the Chinese had in the construction of the railroad, they were not able to escape prejudice in America. One notable act of prejudice done by America against the Chinese prior to the completion of the railroad is the signing and passing of The Chinese Exclusion Act by President Chester A. Arthur on May 6, 1882 discontinuing Chinese laborers. Before this law was passed, between 1869 and 1882, many events happened that factored into the decision of passing the Chinese Exclusion act. Examples of these factors were that the Chinese were receiving more job than American citizens,…

    Ktm (Malaysian Railways)

    This write up specifically discuss about one component of the Malaysian transportation system, which is the railway KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu). This entity is about 120 years old in transporting people and goods. Being a son of an ex-KTM train driver and had been traveling with my family to various locations I have witnessed the progress of KTMB for all these years. This paper explains if KTMB is still relevant and the core of Malaysian transportation system. As consumers become more sophisticated, they demand the right services at the right time, right price and at the right place. Today, the major challenge that KTMB faces are loss in revenue. This can be overcome if KTMB is willing to enhance the traveling time from one point to another point. They should also consider increasing the number of trips on various important destinations. For example, traveling by express train from KL to Butterworth will take from 6 to12 hrs whereas express bus takes about 5 hrs. The frequencies of the departure for the bus are also on hourly basis whereby as for the train it is only one trip a day. If only KTMB could turn around their priorities they could be the 1st choice of transporting from cities to cities. Page number 10, explains how KTMB’s actions gain the confidence from the public by reducing the waiting time and by increasing the speed of the trains. KTMB plans, design, make and deliver the needs of today’s generations. While doing so, KTMB may find ways of meeting the needs of all the stakeholders equally. In page number 8 & 9 we could see if KTMB will be able to sustain in near future and the action taken. Problems arise when railway land are being sold to housing developers where the residents need to vacate to newer place. With the high power modern trains, more electricity energy is required to drive those engines. Will that erode our future environment for the sake of making more profits? Finally we could see…

    In economics, a monopoly (from the Latin word monopolium – Greek language monos, one + polein, to sell) is defined as a persistent market situation where there is only one provider of a product or service. Monopolies are characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. Monopoly should be distinguished from monopsony, in which there is only one buyer of the product or service; it should also, strictly, be distinguished from the (similar) phenomenon of a cartel. In a monopoly a single firm is the sole provider of a product or service; in a cartel a centralized institution is set up to partially coordinate the actions of several independentproviders (which is a form of oligopoly).…

    the followings stories are based on my experience, there are criticism but all of this are only my opinons. Basically the types of passengers who tends to ride the PNR are as follows: security guards/body guards, senior citizens, just ordinary persons, workers and construction workers, pregnant women, vendors, even if it is a Sunday there are some students, the larger population of passengers are mostly males. There are some positive things about PNR first and foremost the fare is very affordable compare to other modes of transportation next one is that less hasslle you don’t need to ride on another transportation to get to a certain destination, some Employees were polite and courteous, lastly there’s no traffic at all because it is a train. While the Downside of riding the PNR is that the air ventillation, there’s no aircon at all I think it is not working during the ride all of us agreed to open the upper portion of the window because it’s too hot and we are all suffocated, noise pollution such as crying babies, chitchatting passengers/ talking too loud, passengers playing music with their speakers on, and yelling and irretated passengers with each other because some don’t give way when it comes to loading and unloading, conjestion/overcrwoding is the main problem because there are lots of passengers waiting in every stations and it can’t accommodate all of them because the PNR also has it’s own carrying capacity, some station had poor maintenance and poor implementation, also there are no descent ticketing booths unlike to LRT and MRT, I found the motion of the train to be too shaky, at times unsteady, persistent problems with the informal settlers in every station because in every station you will always see their houses which is not a scenic view for me also my blockmate experience that someone throws an object heading to the train maybe it is a stone or what…
