The history of Pakistan Railway is incomplete without the mention of steam power. Since 1947 for well over 50 years Pakistan Railways plied these powerful iron horses on freight as well as passenger services. SP/S , HG/S , CWD , XC , meter and narrow gage steam locomotives were widely used. The steam gallery is a collection of steam locomotive pictures which were working while the photographs were taken.

Currently HG/S Class is utilized for occasional safari trips in the Rawalpindi and Lahore Divisions.. More....

PRHS which is now renamed as pakistanrail.com approached Pakistan Railways in 1998 with a suggestion to preserve the grounded steam locomotives of SP/S, HG/S , CWD Class. Initially the locomotives were placed at main railway stations of the 7 Divisions of Pakistan Railways. Later on a Railway Museum was established at Golra Railway Station in the Rawalpindi Division.

Due to the sluggishness of PR management only about 30% of PR heritage could be preserved.
