The Zhob Valley Railway was part of North Western Railway(NWR) Northern Frontier narrow gauge network; finally extended from Boston to Zhob in 1929

The Zhob Valley Railway was laid during the First World War, initially only as far as the chrome mines of Hindubagh (renamed Muslimbagh in the 1960s), which was used in the manufacture of munitions. It had been intended to extent the railway from Zhob to Bannu, but this never eventuated.[1]
