Malakwal departure

Although diesels were beginning to appear in the area the environs of Malakwal were one of the strongholds of steam in Pakistan in 1992. There was a distinctly Edwardian feel to the motive power which comprised SPS (Standard Passenger Superheated 4-4-0) and SGS (Standard Goods Superheated 0-6-0) oil fired locomotives.
Here (Vulcan Foundry built 1911, I think) SPS 3191 gently leads a westbound departure out of the junction station at Malakwal, passing just a few of the magnificent array of semaphore signals around the area.
