Pakistan was one of the last of the world's countries to discontinue use of steam power on its railroads, utilizing it right into the 1990s. Among the largest locomotives were the CWD class of 2-8-2s built in Canada following World War II. CWD No. 5627 was wheeling a passenger train out of Samasata on November 7, 1989, while two local herdsmen were shepherding a young bull along the right-of-way.
