Pakistani railway workers leave after washing train carriages at railway station of Rawalpindi on December 3, 2011. Corruption, mismanagement and neglect are driving Pakistan Railways into ruin, ending all goods haulage, leaving millions of passengers stranded and consigning to the scrapheap a much-loved legacy of British rule. In the three years since the current government took power, ending a decade of military rule, the Railways has retired 64 of its 104 trains, leaving just 40 left for a country larger than Britain and Germany combined. With expected losses of 35 billion rupees (390 million USD) in fiscal year July 2011 to June 2012 the company relies on government handouts of 2.5 billion rupees (2.8 million USD) a month to pay salaries and pensions.
