I am an Aussie who grew up next to a train station in the country outside the city of Melbourne. What a beautiful panorama of your country. Railways show a different side of the country and people. May peace be you and many safe travels!!!

I was in the USAF stationed in the town of Badaber just outside Peshawar in the mid 1960’s. I remember seeing terrain like this on our trips to the Khyber Pass. I was amazed to see the many tunnels for the trains on the mountain sides on our trips. Back then there were steam locomotives. Seeing this video brings back a lot of memories of Pakistan.

Beautiful video indeed! Hirok or Hirak neans "diamond" in Hindi language. Sibi- Quetta section is a jewel in the crown of Pakistan Railways. I have been conducting research on Bolan Railways (still ongoing) only to find the British engineers were well- versed in their job. Their dedication, devotion & expertise carries paramount significance. Native labourers under their command put in extreme efforts to commission this project. I have seen this section - a fascinating feat, a grand masterpiece of civil engineering. The British engineers & locals spilled their blood to make this project a marvellous success. Hats off to you all. Francis Langford O'Callaghan was the Chief Engineer of this project whose wife was killed in a nearby camp, deserves our special applause. He was succeeded by William Edge.

A beginning view of the consist would have been nice. Is this a freight or passenger manifest? @ 05:08 the engineer ignored a "whistle signal" for the upcoming tunnel. @ 08:08 the track headed uphill to the left is a "Runaway Track" just west of Dozan Station. @ 09:00 a "Runaway Track" can be seen on the right. @15:28 two more "Runaway Tracks" are located at Hir-ok on either side. @20:05 a "Runaway Track" is on the left coming into the town of Mach. @ 20:42 another "Runaway Track can be seen on the right side also at the town of Mach. @23:00 the tracks to Abe-gum are on the left. Notice the armed guards with slung AK's @ 23:30 all of these tracks dead-end in Mach. @25:50 Home grown coal mines are on the right side. @28:10 another "Runaway Track" is on the left just before coming into Abe-gum.

Catch sidings, interesting concept. In the US they were called 'runaway tracks'. The Southern Railway Saluda Grade in North Carolina was one example. A train descending the steep grade of Saluda Mountain would enter a timed section of track prior to encountering a red signal and runaway track at bottom of the grade. The points at the bottom were normally aligned to a runaway track having a steep positive grade that would quickly stop a runaway train, derailing it in a controlled manner if necessary. Should a train lose brakes on the descent, it would transit the timed section too rapidly and enter the runaway track. Should it transit at normal speed and time, the points would switch to the main line and the signal would show a high green.
