Horse Train Movie ( 1895 To 1998 )


This web site is about the history of a very big village named Gangapur. This village named Gangapur is situated at a distance of (60km) from Faisalabad and it distance (100km) from Lahore. This village was ruled by a Hindu land lord whose name was Sir Ganga Ram. At that time sir Ganga ram was considered as one of great landlords of Punjab. He established such a good system in the village in which all labours were considered of equal rights to the formers. At that time this concerned village was very prosperous. Sir Ganga Ram established stores system to preserve wheat and other grains... There was a Garden at that time in the village , spread over an area of (50) acres . This garden is Still in the village-Recently it has been given on lease at at a cost of (875000) for the year 2004/2005.....

More over there was a very big motor in those days which was eracted on Gogira- Branch to provide the facilities of irrigation for the fertile lands of Gangapur.. This Motor was very heavy and have a big volume. The water motes served the inhabitants of Gangapur since (1898 up to 19998) i.e. one hundred years.........

Now the most unique thing for which Gangapur gained famous all over the Country and all over the World was its Trolley with a Horse... This was made up of wooden blocks its track was in resemblance to that of rail way track. This Line was Probably built and Gora-trolley (Horse - Train) was Launched in (1898) in Gangapur....

This (horse- Train) documentary was broadcasted on the (PTV) many times. (BBC) also launched its documentary on its network also...
This Gore- Trolley (Horse- Train) was a amazing Traveling facility for People of Gangapur as well as for the visitors....

After the on air launching of (PTV) Documentary on this Horse - Train, many people from abroad came to view this horse - train. This was definitely a source of pride for the people of Gangapur.
But Alas in (1998) due to some Financial reasons this (Horse- Train) was Closed... This was a very big loss for the people of Gangapur...
The Inhabitants of this village want the renewal of this (Horse-Train) because it is a historical heritage of Gangapur as well as of Pakistan.....
