The Khyber Steam Safari - II

The Front Seat !
A couple of diehards also sit in front of the engine to enjoy themselves.

:The Mountains and the Forts:
There is a sudden change in the landscape when somebody enters the Tribal Areas from Peshawar. Instead of concrete buildings, one would find huge walls made of mud that fortify the houses from outside elements.

:Bagpipes:
At the first Stop (Jamrud), we were welcomed by a band playing Bag-pipes.

:A Unique Opportunity:
Almost sixty Western Tourists on the train had had the unique opportunity to go through a land which they would never have been able to see on their own.

:The Winding Train Roars as it Makes its Way:
Seventy to Eighty people are appointed to take care of the railway track. There are a total of eighteen tunnels and dozens of bridges on the line.
