Pakistan Railways also shares transportation facility from Karachi to Peshawar and Karachi to Chaman. Thereafter cargo is crossed border by road until 2011-12. After change of custom regulations, Pakistan Railways is planning to have railway track inside Afghanistan to regularize this transportation.

Pakistan Railways 33 14/02/2018 33 Two critical aspects merit special attention: ◦ break-of-gauge points, and ◦ missing links. A break-of-gauge occurs when the railways of neighbouring countries have different track gauges. Different rail gauges are currently in use across the continents.
