FAISALABAD:


Pakistan Railway will set up a siding point in Faisalabad to unload freight trains, a spokesman said on Monday.  He said the point would be set up on 600 square metres. He said trains carrying coal would be unloaded at the site.  He said each freight train had 60 to 70 wagons loaded with coal. “Currently it takes three days to unloading a train,” he said.


He said siding points would help unload trains within a few hours. He said Pakistan Railway Lahore Divisional Superintendent Waqar Ahmad Shahid had visited various sites near Faisalabad Dry Port and Rasalay Wala to select land for the siding point.
