贯穿全国的巴基斯坦铁路网全长8775km,线路总延长12593km,其中准轨线路11312km,米轨线路555km,窄轨线路726km。大部分铁路为单线,共有989个车站,其中乘降所110个。在第二次大战期间,巴基斯坦铁路受到严重破坏。战后由于缺乏资金,重建和更新计划一再拖延。1947年,前英殖民帝国宣布将巴基斯坦从印度分割出来,加上印度停止进口煤等,使铁路几乎处于瘫痪状态。 The Pakistani railway network running through the country has a total length of 8775km, with a total extension of 12593km, of which 11,312km of the rail line, 555km of the Melange track and 726km of a narrow-gauge track. Most of the railways are single lines with a total of 989 stations, of which 110 are for astronauts. During the Second World War, the Pakistani railway was severely damaged. Due to lack of funds after the war, reconstruction and renewal plans have been repeatedly delayed. In 1947, the former British colonial empire announced the separation of Pakistan from India, coupled with India’s cessation of the import of coal, leaving the railway almost paralyzed.
