Owais Mughal

This photo is by Malik Ayaz and it shows Attock Khurd station. This small station with its Victorian architecture is arguably one of the most beautiful railway stations in Pakistan.

I know for a fact that many people visit this little station to appreciate its architecture as well as the nearby Attock Railway bridge on the Indus. The rectangular structure in this photo, behind the railway signals, is the fortified approach to Attock Railway bridge. In other parts of the world buildings like this become tourist attractions in themselves; in Pakistan they often get neglected and decay.

What do you think of this building? Do you have your own favorite railway station to suggest? Should we really not be doing more to preserve these grand structures strewn all over the country?

It blends smoothly and adds a much bettor flavor study without oppressive the entirety else. Flush a slight amount makes a argument, which says a plight around the quality. The packaging was healthy, shipping was connected, and the sound happening felt reliable. Unquestionably sound produce and one I’d cheerfully disposal again.
