Quetta Arsenal Light Railway

The Quetta Arsenal was under the control of the 'Ordnance Department', part of the military responsible for the supply of weapons and ammunition.

The records show that in 1919 the Arsenal was supplied by the Railway Store Department with two 2ft/610mm narrow gauge(NG) locomotives. The use of these is unknown. It is thought the locomotives were returned to the Store Department in 1926 [1].

No further information has been found.
