The last trip.
Each journey have an end and each creature will be eliminate after certain life circle. Exactly Same law applied on manufactured metallic objects where those gone in scraps after fixed period of time.
I tried to write a story of an moving object who was on its last trip and on destination went to sleep forever in some workshop or scrape stand. Let's go to main story for the day ,
It was first quarter of 2006 when my structure started to move and most parts engineered, modified and assembled in CRCC and shipped to ICF where I gets final shape within next 3 months. My feet imported as built-in Germany and air-conditioning unit came from Singapore while most metals assemble in my local manufacturing company. All the interior decorations fabricated by STZ Shanghai with cooperation of PR.
On October 2006 final touch to my outer look by painters finished and I was ready to run at maximum 140 KM/H on track. My native country chief of CRCC came especially on my first run which gives a lot of encouragement to perform well and put my country flag high. I proved that my nation's manufacturing capabilities are super and luxurious.
I bring down to MRW and attached with a brand new Locomotive on November 6, 2006 and my real life journey begins. I served millions of people who came to me , enjoy my ride and reached on destinations.
In 2019 , after 13 years of service and 100,000 KM traveling distance, fell sick and bring to hospital in MRW. Technical support team , technicians, fabricators, welders and mechanical engineering team put me back by some alternatives.
I was back on track after special care in August of 2019 and got 4 years more life after mainToday I am on my last trip and going to rest forever. I am completing my tenor of four extended years today on 15th of November 2024. I will be back in yard and wants rest , a rest forever because I am tired now , gone elder and can't bear the weigh.
I am proud on myself that I served my countrymen with my full devotion and loyalty. I never say NO to anyone and never care about race , religion, colour and position of the people whoever came to me for service.
I am a ZBXH passenger Coach, passenger carriage of Pakistan railways and it is my own story who is going to retire after fabulous career of service. A service for proud , sovereign nation of South Asia with 150 million population and 3 millions people travel monthly through this transportation causeway.
