name was Sir Ganga Ram. At that time sir Ganga ram was
considered as one of great landlords of Punjab. He established
such a good system in the village in which all labours were
considered of equal rights to the formers. At that time this
concerned village was very prosperous. Sir Ganga Ram established
stores system to preserve wheat and other grains... There was a
Garden at that time in the village , spread over an area of
(50)
acres . This garden is Still in the village-Recently it has been
given on lease at at a cost of
(875000)

More over there was a very
big motor in those days which was eracted
on Gogira- Branch to provide the
facilities of irrigation for the fertile lands of Gangapur..
This Motor was very heavy and have a big volume. The water motes
served the inhabitants of Gangapur since
(1898 up to 19998)
i.e. one hundred years.........
Now the most unique thing
for which Gangapur gained famous all over the Country and all
over the World was its Trolley with a Horse... This was made up
of wooden blocks its track was in resemblance to that of rail
way track. This Line was Probably built and Gora-trolley (Horse -
Train) was Launched in
(1898) in Gangapur....
This
(horse- Train)
documentary was broadcasted on the
(PTV)
many times.

This Gore- Trolley (Horse-
Train) was a amazing Traveling facility for People of Gangapur
as well as for the visitors....
After the on air launching
of (PTV) Documentary on this Horse - Train, many people from
abroad came to view this horse - train. This was definitely a
source of pride for the people of Gangapur.
But Alas in
(1998)
due to some Financial reasons this (Horse- Train) was Closed...
This was a very big loss for the people of Gangapur...
The Inhabitants of this
village want the renewal of this (Horse-Train) because it is a
