Step into the misty veil of time, where the whispers of history still linger… Bhera Railway Station, a testament to the bygone era, stands as a poignant reminder of a time long gone. Established in 1881 as a terminus, this quaint station had witnessed generations of laughter, tears, and stories, as trains chugged along the tracks, weaving memories that would last a lifetime.
The old weighing scale, a relic of the past, stood proud till late 2010, bearing the marks of time. Its surface told countless tales of those who once stood beside it, with dreams and destinies hanging in the balance.
The inscription weighing scale read :
MAKERS
THE INDIAN MACHINERY.CO . LTD.
DASSNAGAR, HOWRAH.
20.7. 1940.
As the last train departed Bhera in 2005 ( Bhera – Hazurpur – Miani – Malkwal – 28 km ), the station’s heartbeat slowed, and the silence grew. The once bustling platform, where loved ones bid farewell, and strangers became friends, now lies still. Yet, the memories refuse to fade. The wind whispers secrets in the empty corridors carrying the scent of old trees and forgotten dreams.
Visit the website, bhera.org, to know more of this station’s secrets and stories. Let us cherish the legacy of Bhera Railway Station, a symbol of love, loss, and longing. Let the nostalgia wash over you and the history seep into your soul.
I humbly request the political and religious leaders of Bhera, local administration, and senior citizens to make efforts to preserve our collective past and transform Bhera Railway Station into a beacon of heritage and nostalgia, like, Golra Sharif Railway Heritage Museum, Islamabad, and Akora Khurd ( last railway station of Punjab before KP ).
