Khyber Railway excursion

A charter train is about to depart from Shahgai in 1993, with a Pakistan Railways HGS 2-8-0 at front and rear, and descend out of the Khyber Pass back to Jamrud, near Peshawar. The local tribesmen are asserting their right to free travel on the trains, a condition of the railway being built through their land.
