==History==
The Punjab Railway was established shortly after the ''Scinde Railway Act'' of Parliament in July 1855 was passed.<ref name=name>[https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/228649/8330.pdf H.M. Government "Statute Law Repeals: Nineteenth Report : Draft Statute Law (Repeals) Bill; April 2012"; pages 134–135, paragraphs 3.78-3.83] Retrieved on 2 January 2016</ref><ref>"Money Market and City Intelligence", ''The Times'', Wednesday, 15 June 1859, #23333, 7a.</ref> The Punjab Railway began soon after the [[Karachi-Peshawar Railway Line|Karachi-Kotri Railway Line]] opened in 13 May 1861. The [[Indus Flotilla]] was set up to transport passengers from Kotri to [[Multan]] by steamship. From Multan, a new railway line began being laid from to [[Lahore]] and onwards to [[Amritsar]]. The line opened in 1861 and in 1870, the Punjab Railway was amalgamated with the [[Scinde Railway]] and [[Delhi Railway]] companies and renamed as the [[Scinde, Punjab & Delhi Railway]] company.
