Chappar Rift railway line

The second railway line to Quetta via the Chappar Rift, completed in 1887, was a landmark in the history of railways of northwestern British India, and a remarkable feat of engineering. The images here are mostly scans of old photographs and posters. Scans have been provided by Owais Mughal. See the accompanying article on the Chappar Rift by Owais Mughal.
