Have you ever heard of a country selling its own heritage?
In this episode, we uncover the forgotten story of Zhob Valley Railway — once the pride of Balochistan and the world’s longest narrow-gauge railway line.

Built in 1913 and stretching nearly 295 kilometers from Bostan to Zhob, this railway once connected remote mountain towns and carried the minerals, dreams, and lives of countless people.
But over time, it disappeared — first abandoned, then auctioned in the 2000s for just 300 million rupees.

🎙️ In conversation with Ilyas Karim, researcher and documentary filmmaker, we explore:

The historical importance of the Zhob Valley Railway

How and why it declined after 1986

The story behind its controversial auction under Musharraf’s regime

What this lost railway means for Pakistan’s cultural and industrial heritage today
