Duzdap was renamed Zahidan. The Iran border was at Kuh-i-Taftan between Nok-Kundi and Mirjawa. Timetables of the 1970s showed this station. Posted by Ajai Banerji on 2010 Sep 13 13:32:24 +0000 |

Doc, the Ranipet branch came later. Initially Walajah Road was called Arcot, which can be seen in the early maps. Posted by Ajai Banerji on 2010 Sep 08 12:52:29 +0000 |

A few interesting points in Pakistan : 1) Where exactly is this Torra Nigga Nala? I thought that the last town in Pakistan before the border is Tor Kham. Are they the same? 2) There is no bridge across the Chenab between Lyallpur (Faisalabad) and Sargodha. 3) The loop line from Sibi reaches Bostan, with the line between Khanai and Bostan most probably being double BG & NG. In most recent maps, the line is shown to terminate at Khost. 4) Hindubagh in now Muslimbagh. Posted by Dr.Jitendra Mulky on 2010 Sep 05 05:33:26 +0000 |

interesting to know that even then SRE to Lahore was a double line. Posted by Aseem Johri on 2010 Sep 04 13:57:14 +0000 |
Frontier Mail had the numbers 3/4 right through from Bombay to Peshawar. 57/58 was known as GIP Bombay Express, and also went to Peshawar. 5/6 Punjab (Calcutta) Mail ran from Howrah to Lahore. 17/18 was a Link Express between Lahore and Howrah, with coaches attached to the Doon Express at Laksar. You can see the originally Lahori Passenger here from Lahore to Dehra Dun (today's ASR - DDN Express). 67/ 68 Coaching Express seems to be forerunner of the ASR - Delhi Janata Express, which has since vanished. The mainline from Lahore to Delhi was via Saharanpur, with only 57/58 taking the shorter route via Panipat.
