Fort Abbas Railway Station (2021)

22-02-2021

Fort Abbas is a town in the Bahwalangar district in the Cholistan desert that lies on the border of Pakistan and India. Fort Abbas railway station was constructed in 1929 and it is also the last railway station in southern Punjab.  A broad-gauge single-line railway track connects Bahwalangar with Fort Abbas while passing through Haroonabad and Faqir Wali. Due to fewer passengers, twenty years back Pakistani railway had decided to stop train service on this track, and hence railway station building got abandoned since that time. It is a small British-era railway station building which is in a deserted state at the moment due to negligence of authorities.
