History{{See also|North Western Railway zone#History}}The track between Barmer, forming part of the then Jodhpur princely State, and Shadi Palli in Sindh, on which the current Thar Link Express runs, was opened in December 1900 to run the Sind Mail, which ran between Bombay and Karachi through Munabao, via Ahmedabad - Palanpur - Marwar - Pali - Jodhpur - Lun - Barmer - Munabao - Khokhrapar - Mirpur Khas - Hyderabad. During Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the rail track was bombed and destroyed by the Pakistani fighter jets, and the Mumbai-Karachi train ended.[1][2].[3] [3] On 28 June 1976, India and Pakistan signed the rail communication agreement, to normalise the relations between two nations after signing the Simla Agreement (2 July 1972) few months after the end of Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, when the bilateral relations had soured after the Indian Army had succeeded in liberating Bangladesh. The renewable rail communication agreement was again extended by both nations from 19 January 2016 to 18 January 2019. This agreement forms the basis of running Thar Link Express, as well as the Samjhauta Express. The Delhi–Lahore Bus and Srinagar-Muzaffarabad Bus are based on a separated agreement. The Thar Link Express is a continuation of the previous Sind Mail, when it was revived after a period of 41 years on 18 February 2006. Indian network, on which this train runs, was converted to broad gauge long ago. In 2005, Pakistan also converted the line from metre gauge to broad gauge. This enabled both the nations to sign a MoU to reopen the rail link. This was not possible earlier because there would be a change of gauge in between, either at Hyderabad or Mirpur Khas. Prior to 1965, the last Pakistani station was Khokhropar railway station, about 10 kilometers from the border. When the new service began in 2006, Pakistan constructed a new station, called Zero Point railway station, a few hundred meter from the border, where immigration and customs checks are carried out now. Opposite this, six kilometers apart, Munabao railway station is located on the Indian side of the border in Barmer district of Rajasthan, where Indian immigration and customs checks are carried out.[1][2][3] DetailsThe non-stop weekly train is operated by the Jodhpur railway division of the North Western Railway zone of Indian Railways. The train is formed with the Indian rolling stock and locomotive for end to end journey in both directions, from Jodhpur to Karachi. The train is formed with one diesel locomotive and 9 standard Indian ICF Coaches in the following combination, L-SLR-S7-S6-S5-S4-S3-S2-S1-SLR (L - locomotive, SLR Seating cum luggage rake, S - Seating rake).[4] The train begins its journey with the Indian rolling stock and locomotive from the Bhagat Ki Kothi railway station in Jodhpur, traveling westwards from Balotra - Barmer - Manabao, where it crosses the border to Pakistan, traveling along a stretch of the Hyderabad–Khokhrapar Branch Line and Karachi–Peshawar Railway Line. The trip takes approximately 12 hours and 15 minutes to cover a published distance of {{convert|381|km|mi}}, departing from Bhagat Ki Kothi every Saturday 01:00 IST and arriving at Munabao at 07:00 IST. After customs, it crosses the border into Pakistan and arrives at Zero Point at 14:30 PST and reaches Karachi Cantonment at 2:15 PST on Sunday.[5] See also
