Prior to connecting the 14 kilometre-long track from City Station to Orangi with the operational KCR route, the Pakistan Railways Karachi carried out an operational trial of a running train today that was concluded swiftly. Relevant officers of Karachi division and engineers from KCR project participated in the operational trial.
Electronic media reports pertaining to derailment of trial KCR train or any other accident near Sher Shah region are totally denied as the trial train smoothly moved to-and-fro between City andOrangi stations. A 30 minutes break near Sher Shah was a major part of examining the operational parameters that was misconstrued as derailment or any other accident.
Before the KCR operational trial the Karachi division has also smoothly concluded the trial run from 1238 feet/359 metre long Chinna creek bridge connecting Kaemari with City Station enroute Karachi Bunder Road commonly called KBX yard. The divisional superintendent Karachi Mr. Muhammad Hanif Gul felicitated the operations’ team for accomplishing the trial runs.
