EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in the transportation history of the North-West Frontier region of South Asia. The image shows the first engine for the Peshawar Railway being conveyed across the mighty River Indus at Attock, India, in the late 19th or early 20th century. The Peshawar Railway was a vital transportation link connecting India and Afghanistan, and this engine was the first of many that would revolutionize the way goods and people moved between the two regions. The transportation of the engine across the Indus River was a monumental task, requiring careful planning and execution. The river, known for its strong currents and unpredictable flooding, presented a formidable challenge. The solution was to use a large barge, which was specially designed and reinforced to carry the weight of the engine. The engine was carefully dismantled and loaded onto the barge, which was then pulled across the river by a fleet of boats. The successful transportation of the engine marked a major milestone in the construction of the Peshawar Railway. It paved the way for the laying of tracks and the eventual completion of the railway line, which would significantly reduce the time and cost of transportation between India and Afghanistan. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and workers who made this feat possible, and it remains an important part of the transportation and railway history of the North-West Frontier region.
