So yesterday on 8th April 2019, I took out my motorcycle and started a journey on GT Road from Lahore. Plan was to get into the countryside and do some railfanning as I was getting bored of trains running in the city. Not too far from Lahore, is a small town of Kala Shah Kaku which most people know about the famous interchange of motorway that connects it with GT Road. It is also first town right after you leave Shahdara. It falls in the Sheikhupura district of Punjab province.
At Kala Shah Kaku, after a great breakfast from roadside vendor (none other than Naan chanay), we reached Kala Shah Kaku Railway Station. It is a small railway station and no train stops here except one passenger train. This station is more kind of operational station for giving crossings as this Lahore-Rawalpindi section is on single line.
First train to pass was Awam Express 13UP which was lead by an old Hitachi PHA-20 and second was the fast and furious 109UP Rawalpindi Express railcar which was lead by a brand new ZCU-20
Rest the video is self explanatory :) Have fun watching it..
