Can you guess the number of Railway Stations in Pakistan (including abandoned ones)? If you cannot give us an exact number, choose a range. Actually, lets make it a little poll too see what our collective best guess is.
Do please think through your answer. The easy way may be to pour over google searches. But it just may be more fun to go through a logical process of reasoning what the right answer might be.
Of course, we will share the correct answer – and our reason for asking this question – soon.
That is really an interesting question.
This is why ATP is such a special place. You guys can take a simple and off the beaten track thing like this and turn that into an interesting discussion that everyone gets involved in. All Things Pakistan, zindabad.

Very interesting. I had never thought of this.
I guess around 200.
Aap log kahan say yeh sawal dhond kay laatey ho?
