Punjab Railway

The Punjab Railway (reporting mark PR) was one of the pioneering railway companies that operated during the British Raj between 1855 and 1885 in Punjab.

[1] The Punjab Railway was established shortly after the Scinde Railway Act of Parliament in July 1855 was passed.

The Indus Flotilla was set up to transport passengers from Kotri to Multan by steamship.

From Multan, a new railway line began being laid from to Lahore and onwards to Amritsar.

By the end of 1864 the company owned 8 steam locomotives, 36 coaches and 140 goods wagons.
