    Golra Sharif #Railway Museum, also known as Pakistan Railways Heritage Museum, is a railway #museum located near the Sector F-13 of #Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. It is a junction station in Rawalpindi Division of the Pakistan Railways, located at 1,994 feet above sea level, in the southeast of the $Margalla Hills and east of the cradle of Gandhara civilization, the ancient city of Taxila.
    The Golra Sharif Junction railway station lies on the main line of the Pakistan Railways which connects the rest of the country in the south and #Peshawar in the north. More than 20 trains pass through this station every day.
    It is situated southwest of Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, at the altitude of 1994 feet. Its magnificent building has #Victorian architecture and composed of yellow stone masonry comprises five hall-like rooms. The station that once linked Peshawar, Kohat, Havelian and Multan now enjoys more importance due to its #museum.[3]
    The station was #established in 1882 during British rule and upgraded as junction in 1912. It was the logistics artery of #British #India during the Afghan military campaigns at the turn of the twentieth century. It has since become an #important trade route which protrudes into #Afghanistan through the famous #Khyber Pass.
    The museum
    The Railway #Heritage Museum was established in October 2003. From relics dating back to the inception of railways in the subcontinent by the #British to #memorabilia depicting the creation of the museum are housed and preserved in this heritage site. The Rail Heritage Museum is housed in three different halls to contain artifacts reflecting history of railway over a period of more than 150 years including almost 100 years of undivided India. As a part of the museum there is a big yard where cranes, trolleys, saloons, locomotives, coaches and tracks are marshaled impressively, portraying the railway’s march forward through time. The museum houses an impressive blend of artifacts covering the many facets of the railways systems. Mechanical models, signalling systems, communication tools and the evolution of operational protocols are preserved and chronologically displayed in the museum. The museum also displays the social impact and anthropological implications of the railways on the human geography of the multi-racial sub continent. An open yard displays a wide array of relics which have become extinct on the railway lines around the world. The steam and electric locomotives, a German postal car, a saloon car used by the last Indian viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, and another saloon car belonging to the Maharaja of Jodhpur from the Jodhpur railways given as a wedding present to his daughter are a few examples.[4]
    Vision
    The museum was envisioned by Ishfaq Khattak, the DS of the Rawalpindi division. In late 2002, the headquarters issued instructions to all the divisions of the Pakistan railways to scrap all the old itemsu7890 including crockery, furniture, locomotives, and saloons for narrow gauge lines. Ishfaq Khattak saw it an opportunity accumulate all the relics and create a heritage site. By the end of 2003, this feat was achieved mostly due to the diligence of officers working on the project without any funding from the government. Pure unabated love for the railways had been the major driving force towards the completion of this venerated project. Though the museum was inaugurated officially on 5 March 2007, it had already opened its doors to the public on 26 September 2003.
    Relics
    The railway museum boasts of a very special collection of memorabilia from different periods in time from the British Raj to the occupation of Indian held railway station during the 1965 war with India. May it be the saloon cars of yore or the long-forgotten steam locomotives, this museum has got it all. Everything has been fully preserved given the limited resources and a fledgling organization of Pakistan Railways. A new building has been erected on the premises to be converted into an art gallery and a Café.
    A majority of the items displayed at the museum belong to the North West Railways,
