This could be anywhere in the world, but where in Pakistan is this picture from?
The picture itself is by one of my favorite photographers, but let me not tell you now who that is (since that may give a clue to the answer). I will write more about him when we reveal the answer.
The quiz here is to let us know where is this place. While the exact location is pretty desolate, if you can guess (or know for sure) the two major towns between which this place is located, you’ll get full marks :-)
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
I think it is Kan Mehtarzai – Pakistan. This place is situated in Pishin, Baluchistan, Pakistan and also termed as Asia’s Highest Railway

Its between Multan and Bahawalpur taken in June this year.
Also note the planning that went behind putting a broad-gauge double track in such difficult terrain here 130 years ago.
For comparison the main railway track between Peshawar – Lahore – Khanewal is mostly single track to date. Khanewal-Raiwind is just getting double track this year.
Chanesar Halt near Mehmoodabad in Karachi
I also think it is on the Landikotal line
