How many of you have traveled by train?

Did you take pictures during your journey? If yes, please share.

I had the pleasure of traveling by train once as a child; traveling from Lahore to Karachi. We got stuck with an uncle who was very nice, and also pretty chatty. He wanted me to chat at the same frequency, so he pulled out a packet of dried fruits to consume and asked me to read the name of all the stations that come along the way. He really meant it, because I stopped after a while thinking this is crazy. He asked me “Why did you stop?..Keep telling me which stations come up”. He was in for the long haul too, all the way to Karachi.

The journey was pretty nice. I remember getting off for a few minutes at a station mid-way somewhere; I do not recall the name now. I also remember we had a pretty decent amount of stop in Hyderabad. That’s where I browsed as much of the train station as was allowed, passing by food vendors. This is also where I first learned of the Hyderabad delicacy called Rabri. I still have not tried it yet, but soon inshaAllah.

For the next 24-48 hours after arriving in Karachi, I felt the motions of train journey even when I would be sitting around relaxing. Lol, it’s hard to describe.

These pictures bring back similar memories, so thanks for sharing them Mahool.
