EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history as a train emerges from the Khyber Pass Railway tunnel, marking the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Khyber Pass, a historic mountain pass, has served as a vital trade route and strategic military location for centuries, connecting Central Asia and South Asia. This image dates back to the conclusion of the third Anglo-Afghan War in 1919, when the British Empire established the Khyber Pass Railway to facilitate the transportation of troops and supplies between India and the North-West Frontier Province. The railway, a marvel of engineering, traverses treacherous terrain, including bridges and viaducts, to ensure a reliable connection between the two countries. The locomotive, with its billowing smoke and determined engine, epitomizes the spirit of exploration and conquest that characterized the era. The train's wagons, filled with supplies and soldiers, represent the ongoing efforts to secure and maintain control over this important border region. The Khyber Pass Railway remains an enduring symbol of the rich history and complex geopolitics of the region, where the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan converge.
