Golra Sharif Railway Museum
گولڑہ ریلوے میوزیم
A railway museum housed in an old station built in the 1880s, displaying steam locomotives, colonial-era carriages and signalling equipment. A must-visit for railway enthusiasts.
Golra Sharif railway station was built in 1882 and was an important hub on the North Western Railway in British India. In 2003 it was converted into the Pakistan Railways Heritage Museum. Several steam locomotives, hand-operated rail cars and a viceroy's saloon carriage are displayed on the platforms and in the yard. Indoor galleries hold old telegraph machines, signal lamps, uniforms and photographs. A few trains still pass through the station, and the old station building is very photogenic. Tickets are required. Opening hours vary, so check on site. It is about 4 km from Golra Sharif Shrine.
