Shaheed Haider Ali Railway Station (Urdu and Punjabi: شہید حیدر علی ریلوے اسٹیشن) is located in Walhar village, Sadiqabad Tehsil of Punjab province, Pakistan. The station was initially named as Walhar Railway Station.[1] However, its name was changed to Shaheed Haider Ali Railway station in September 2023 as a tribute to a brave railway employee Haider Ali, who got martyred fighting off terrorists who were trying to damage the railway track and derail incoming trains near the Railway station.
