Golra Sharif Railway Museum, Railway museum in Golra Sharif, Pakistan
Golra Sharif Railway Museum houses rail artifacts and memorabilia across two gallery spaces within a Victorian-era station building. The collection displays restored locomotives, passenger and cargo carriages from different periods, and railway equipment arranged throughout the site.
The station was built in 1881 during the colonial period and served as an important transport junction for decades. The museum was established in 2003 to preserve railway items and equipment from the British era and beyond.
The collection reflects how trains shaped travel and commerce across the region, with carriages that once carried royalty and officials through the landscape. These vehicles show the role railways played in connecting people and places over time.
The station remains active with trains passing through daily, allowing visitors to observe working railway operations while exploring the site. Both covered gallery spaces and an open-air yard with locomotives and carriages are accessible to visitors.
The collection includes a former personal saloon car of a British viceroy and a luxurious 1888 carriage once owned by the Maharaja of Jodhpur. These vehicles reveal how railways once transported the region's most powerful figures in style.
