Assalam o Alaikum! Grip on Trip's this episode is very unique. I personally waited for it to happen. Almost all of us have traveled in a train. Even if you have not traveled on a train you have seen it. If you haven't seen, see it now in the rear.
I got permission after so long to travel in engine. I wanted to know since my childhood that how a train runs and what is its apparatus. Which instructions the driver follows. We will see complete system of the engine. I am much excited for this episode. This train, Jaffar Express, has arrived from Quetta and I have traveled on it previously when I went to Quetta.
Mashallah that episode was a hit. I took drone shots of this train. Most of the questions are about those drone flights that how I recorded them. I will travel from Lahore to Gujranwala and see how drivers operate, will see view point and appratus. Stay with me. This train runs between Peshawar and Quetta. It's route is very long. It enters Punjab from KPK.

Then enters Sind after traveling through Punjab. Enters Baluchistan via Jackobabad and reaches Quetta through Sibbi. Train was traveling 20km per hour while leaving Lahore. It started its journey slowly from the platform. The driver said prayer of travel and put notes in front.
It had not reached Badami Bagh when the train from Narowal crossed it. The people who are getting down from moving train were traveling without a ticket. River Ravi bridge came right after crossing Shahdrah. The river was dry but this experience was fantastic. Narowal railway line turned right after River Ravi. We kept going on parallel to GT Road. Train started getting faster after the populous area.
It is drizzling at the moment. This board is control panel of the train. It is showing readings of the engine. Master control of train's lights and fans is also with the driver. Wireless set is also there for contact with control room. Every train has 2 brakes: 1 for engine and 1 for the bogies.
Driver uses them as per need. Those two red and green flags are a sign to keep the speed slow as work is going on ahead. The train has stopped as line is being repaired. I have also stopped for a moment. Secondly, the view from driver's seat showed that people are very careless. Especially children were playing dangerously near train which can cause accident.
Train is about to leave. Next links will be inside. Like roads, train lines also have sections as per their load capacity. Load is managed as per the capacity of each and every section. The driver told me that drivers do not change the line, it is crossing point staff's job.
They inform drivers about their specific line. The told that fencing is must for high speed trains in Pakistan which is an international rule as you see it on motorways. Awami Express crossed us right after Emanabad. Jaffar Express route is among the longest routes of Pakistan. It reaches Quetta from Peshawar after traveling about 1700 kilo meters. My memorable trip of Quetta was on this same train.
Let me show you some highlights of that trip. It is always a memorable train trip to Quetta. You can watch this complete episode by clicking on this link. We have crossed Emanabad and Gujranwala is nearby. Train is changing its line according to its platform number. Control informs the driver about platform number. My stop Gujranwala has arrived. It was lifetime experience.
I feel like going farther but I have to come back as well. This is the engine and this is Gujranwala city. My travel has concluded in Gujranwala. Train has also confirmed that it was fantastic trip. Do tell me about this journey. It's raining and the atmosphere has turned so pleasant. People are wearing sweaters but I came out as Tarzan, I am feeling cold, though.
It was my personal favorite episode. It's your turn to tell me about it. I will try to travel in some automatic engine next time and share it with you. A team of excellent performers carry us to our destinations through outstanding communication.
As Pakistanis it is our duty to protect our precious national asset. If you want to watch delicious food and famous tourist places of Abbotabad, Click Here! And if you want to enjoy Patriata Chairlift, Click Here! Stay with me on Grip on Trip and SUBSCRIBE my channel.
