Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

My father, Harold Wood Robinson was, we believe, somehow involved in this railway. He was a bridge/railway engineer in, what was then India, throughout his working life. He retired in 1947. The family story, related to the Chappar Drift railway, was that he and my mother had a bench fixed to the front if the locomotive that drove them through some aspect of the railway so that he – as the designer engineer – would be the first to travel the line. But we don’t know which part of the line this was. Any help gratefully appreciated.
