Railway cargo connectivity will pour a new soul into the economy of the country

Good Railway system has direct influence on congested roads’ activities

Connectivity of different points, places, cities, and provinces of any country is very important and it is the first priority of the government to connect different areas of the country with each other, so the transportation is things and people moves in its natural flow.

Today we live in the age of global village. Connectivity of things, places and areas are very good and fast. Road networks of a country are its backbone to flourish its cargo activities or transportation of people from one place to the other. Along with road connectivity, railway track or railway carriage system is also very important. In Pakistan, these two mediums are used widely to transport people in all over the country and are also helpful to promote Cargo to Pakistan.

Congested road networks v/s railway networks

If we compare these two mediums of transportation of any country, then we find each and every country prefer railway network instead of road networks but in Pakistan, the situation is reversed. The result is in front of us. On major roads, congested traffic moves like snails and is the big source of air pollution and noise pollution.

On the other side if our country has good and solid railway system for transport of people and for cargo transport, we can control this problem and on roads, traffic can be in its natural flow. In big countries, cargo trains are working with passenger trains because it generates lots of revenue for its government but in Pakistan, roads are busy and railway tracks are without any cargo carriages.

Peshawar to Karachi railway cargo service is welcomed by the business community

The longest cargo route in Pakistan is Peshawar to Karachi and it is linked by roads but now the new railway cargo route from Karachi to Peshawar is on its way to completion. This will cause two ways profitable for the country. Firstly, it will definitely reduce the traffic burden from road networks of Pakistan, so traffic flow will be in great rhythm by the help of this cargo railway route from Peshawar to Karachi.

Secondly, railway is the cheapest medium to convey goods from one place to the other place and it is a good source to send a huge quantity of goods at the same time. Railway network has its own advantages. It has its own tracks and moves on it without creating any fuss in any other traffic network as road transportation has. Now days congested and overcrowded roads are the real problem for public, government, and cargo transportation agencies.

Export cargo train project is under discussions

From Peshawar to Afghanistan, train route is under discussion now a day to promote cargo transportation of the country. Exporters and importers can use this route for their cargo goods transportation and railway will gather a huge amount of revenue in this connection.

Peshawar dry port can be utilized by railway connectivity

Railway route is the best for cargo activity in Peshawar dry port terminal which is useless at the moment just for the sake of poor connectivity with different areas of the country. If railway network is in its flow in Pakistan this terminal will have its own importance.
