Pai khel railway station

This station was built in 1890 AD.

The building of this station is very different from the usual stations - it looks like a fortress - at the corner of the building there are signs of a tower (minar) and the front of the fort.

The reason for the construction of the railway station in this way was that at one time armed tribal groups used to come from Waziristan and attack - the area from Daudkhel to Mianwali was under their control - in those times common people did not have weapons, so they attacked. The work of hours was very easy-

These armed groups were the real enemies of the British government- British had also set up military bases in Mari and Indus to eliminate them-

Pai Khel railway station was built in the same era - A police outpost and front were built here to protect the trains arriving and fro station installations.

Pai Khel station is about one kilometer away from the city - this is the joint railway station of Pai Khel and Moch.

Pai Khel Railway Station is very unique due to its historical importance and construction style.

Both gates at the station are made of thick and heavier iron sheets that used to be lowered with Chains help, which is now probably impossible due to rust. Everything about the station tells a story.

Now this station has become a victim of recession. If attention is not given, the mark of this historical heritage will also be erased soon.
