October 26, 2026 • 1 hour ago •

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Railways has announced a comprehensive plan to restore 172 inactive locomotives, with expectations to reactivate 36 of them within the next four months. This initiative aims to alleviate the operational burden caused by the non-functional engines, which have significantly hampered the railway’s efficiency.

According to sources from the Ministry of Railways, the decision to undertake emergency repairs comes as part of a broader strategy to enhance the railway’s operational capacity and reliability. Officials emphasized the importance of these restorations in improving service delivery and meeting the growing transportation demands across the country.

The revival of these locomotives is expected to have a positive impact on the economy by facilitating smoother freight and passenger services, which are crucial for trade and mobility. Enhanced railway operations could also contribute to reducing road congestion and lowering transportation costs for citizens.

Moving forward, Pakistan Railways is set to initiate the repair work immediately, with progress updates anticipated in the coming months. Stakeholders are hopeful that this restoration plan will mark a significant turnaround for the national railway service.
