Hafizabad is a city located 94 km north of Faisalabad on Faisalabad-Wazirabad Railway section. In a seemingly dare-devil stunt, this guy is seen jumping across freight box cars.

seeing the thin road between the grass pavement and
the mall gari, would’nt give the slightest to foggiest idea
of the chap jumping on the road with his limbs in very awkward position, on the contrary, yes his limbs have
the movements of left leg leaving the boggy and the right
one stepping on the next, his hands clearly flying upwards
when you jump a deep gape trench. The mall gari is not
static, certainly moving slowly as usual.
Are you sure that it’s a trick picture?
This seems to be real…because if the kid IS running on the road he has to be a pretty big kid to be this size from that distance!
remember the camera is pointing downwards…so the road would have to be the one on the other side of the train…
Beautifull header picture of a locomotive on a bridge
on a Nehar somewhere near upper Bari dwab ??
Nice picture nonetheless.
Well caught MQ. I think you are right. So, its Mr. Ali Muhammad who is the artiste here and not the guy who is jumping:-)
Today’s Railway colonies in Pakistan’s rail linked
cities look alike, dirty garbagge collects, plastic bags
graveyard. It used to be clean worth visiting and called
job giver Railway. Degradation is obvious all around
Nostalgic PWR.
Actually, the guy is not running over the train. He is running on the road and the train is probably stationary. It is a trick picture.
Nice.
Do we know if the train was moving or static?
Of course, running over, traveling, sitting on the TOP of a train is a common South Asian practice. Less so in Pakistan than in Bangladesh and les now than before.
Trvelling while sitting on TOP of the train was not only a way to travel without a ticket, it also got you an ‘air conditioned’ seat in hot sumers!
