Pakistan Steam - Historic steam action in 1982

Short clip from some brilliant film shot in 1982 by G. Watkins on Super-8 cine film, this shows steam, and some diesel, operations over Pakistan Railways at a time when the classic BESA 4-4-0s and 0-6-0s were still in everyday service, including the latter here in charge of the weekly train over the Khyber Pass. This sequence, and a run over the Bolan Pass in deep snow are the highlights of this film, but there is much, much more to enjoy.
