I don't knew about Pakistan side of the railroad , but Iranian side is one of the oldest and less maintained part of the Iran rail road and I guess even the Pakistani side of it have the same problem and that rail road seriously need some renovation .
preferably removed and laid again (and honestly it would be a lot better if they use Standard International Gauge for it, not the one that British used to separate India and Pakistan rail road from the rest of the world.)

Well they are learning the lessons I guess.
Even the train itself seems to be quite old from the looks.

Since my childhood I always used to wonder when the railroad service will be up to par to travel to Iran by rail... I am sure not in my life time... Pakistani nation sucks big time.. majority of them corrupt and low life scums ...

Is there still Passenger service between Iran and Pakistan @Tokhme khar

 

[Tokhme khar]

Yes there is from Qoetta to Zahedan. Lot of Baloch people travel back and forth to see their relatives as well as businessmen/ traders. Only the bad apples on foreign funding trying to destroy relationship between Iran and Pakistan.
