The Zhob Railway, also known as the Zhob Valley Railway, is a historical railway line in Pakistan that connects the towns of Bostan and Zhob. The railway was constructed during the late 19th century by the British colonial administration as a strategic transport route. It was initially intended to serve military and trade purposes, facilitating the movement of goods and troops through the rugged terrain of Balochistan.

The construction of the Zhob Railway was a challenging feat, involving the passage through difficult terrains, including steep gradients, sharp curves, and rough landscapes. The line played a crucial role in connecting remote areas and providing access to resources in the region.

While the Zhob Railway was an engineering marvel of its time, it faced operational and financial challenges over the years. The difficult terrain and maintenance issues made it expensive to operate and maintain. As road networks improved and other modes of transportation became more viable, the railway's significance gradually diminished.

The Zhob Railway remains a historical testament to the engineering accomplishments of its era and a reminder of the role railways played in connecting remote regions. It stands as a tangible link to the past and the region's colonial history
