Riding the Rails: Bolan Pass - The World's Toughest Railway Journey

[@gregw9289]

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!!!

This is why l watch train ride vids. You get to see parts if a country you would never see going to the tourist attractions. I would love to ride this route one day, thank you.

[@SitesandSounds]

You are welcome, it's a truly amazing experience to ride this route!

[@Sugarmountaincondo]

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.

[@susanallen2678]

I am from Texas and this is a beautiful video. Love the landscape.

[@SitesandSounds]

Thanks 😊

[@dennisr7452]

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.

[@SitesandSounds]

Thanks for Watching 👍

[@roadie3124]

It's great to see this country again. I went up and down this railway a couple of times in 1955 and 1956 when we were living in Quetta. I particularly remember the dry river bed. The road has been improved a lot.

beautiful landscape of Pakistan railway. Love from India

[@iftekhar7266]

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.

[@SitesandSounds]

Thanks 👍

[@DanH-nk1my]

Yeah...those British Engineers sure loved the free slave labour

[@smmcfilter]

Why did anybody kill the wife of British chief Engineer ? Any information on that?

I enjoy a scenic video even when the native tongue is spoken without subtitles. It is called immersion. If you were to improve on one thing, that would be to stop cutting out segments. You might consider the sections to be uninteresting, but cutting them out breaks the immersion of being on that trip.

[@kumard007]
