Khyber Pass Railway: The Impossible Railway Built Through the Mountains | Untold History

Deep inside the rugged mountains of the Khyber Pass lies the forgotten story of one of the most extraordinary railway engineering projects of the early 20th century. Engineers carved 34 tunnels through solid mountains, constructed 92 bridges and waterways, and created a railway route so steep and difficult that some trains required two steam locomotives — one pulling from the front and another pushing from behind. But why was this railway built in such an extreme location? What was its connection to the historic Great Game between Britain and Russia? How did steam locomotives conquer these dangerous mountain slopes? And why did the railway eventually fall silent? From its opening in 1925 to the later Khyber Steam Safari and today's efforts to preserve the historic heritage of the Khyber Pass, this documentary takes you deep into a fascinating chapter of railway and world history. Watch until the end to discover why this forgotten railway may still have a future.
