Karakoram Express (ur|{{Nastaliq|قراقرم ایکسپریس) is a passenger train operated daily by Pakistan Railways between Karachi and Lahore.[1] The trip takes approximately 17 hours and 45 minutes to cover a published distance of 1241km (771miles), traveling along a stretch of the Karachi–Peshawar Railway Line, Khanewal–Wazirabad Branch Line and Shahdara Bagh–Sangla Hill Branch Line. The train is named after the famous Karakoram mountain range of northern Pakistan.
Karakoram Express was inaugurated on 14 August 2002.[2] This was during a period where Pakistan Railways went through several "facelifts" under Pervez Musharraf's government (including Karachi Express, Tezgam and Shalimar Express). Karakoram Express acquired the title of the "fastest train in Pakistan".[3]
The train operates 13 economy carriages, 4 AC Business carriages, 1 power van and 1 luggage van.[5]
