EDITORS COMMENTS
Khyber Railway Station at Landikotal, NWFP - The Train ready to depart (circa 1920s) This photograph transports us back in time to the Khyber Railway Station at Landikotal, situated in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of British India, around the 1920s. The image showcases a train preparing to depart, with the steam engine at the forefront, ready to embark on its journey through the rugged terrain of the region. The unique aspect of this photograph lies in the superb automobile converted for use on the tracks, located on the left side of the image. The conversion of regular automobiles into rail vehicles was a common practice during this era, allowing for greater flexibility and adaptability in transporting goods and passengers over long distances. The North-West Frontier Province, now a part of Pakistan and Afghanistan, was a strategically important region due to its proximity to the Afghan border and the volatile political climate of the time. The railway line connecting Peshawar and Landikotal played a crucial role in facilitating trade and communication between India and Afghanistan, as well as enabling the movement of troops during times of conflict. The steam engine, with its powerful presence and intricate details, epitomizes the engineering marvels of the era. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of transportation in the region, providing a fascinating insight into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who lived and worked in this challenging terrain.
