The aim of this project was to help modernize Pakistan’s railway system and increase its capacity for both passengers and freight. Over 1,000-km of tracks were rehabilitated and some 1,250-km of wooden ties replaced with reinforced concrete ones. These measures helped improve reliability and safety and reduce operating and maintenance costs.
