The basic railway infrastructure was laid down in the British era, when Sir Henry Edward Frere saw the potential of Karachi becoming a major seaport. He was appointed the Commissioner of Sindh and sought permission from Lord Dalhousie to start a survey for a railway line in 1858. Now the Pakistan Railways is generating Rs 25 billion worth of revenue and is connecting major cities of Pakistan.[junkie-alert style=”white”]The Pakistan Railway Authority has their own phone line 117, so that the citizens can contact the department for inquiries.
