Train travel since it's inception has offered the voyager an often romanticised and contemplative experience of getting from A to B. The subjects, their responses and gazes out the window of a moving landscape reflect their own lives moving forward and perhaps the inevitability of our own mortality. The first of this ongoing series is on the Khyber Mail, traveling from Peshawar in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of northern Pakistan which acted as a stopping point on the ancient Silk Road.The Khyber Mail travels south through Punjab province, the bread basket of Pakistan and terminates in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city at the southern tip of Sindh province on the Arabian Sea after 35 hours travel.
