DAMASCUS-ALEPPO RAILWAY
Posted on 12 December 2009 by Railways Africa Editor
A study on developing the Damascus-Aleppo railway has been discussed between the ministry of transport and the Italian Italferr Company. It aims at increasing train speeds to 155km/h and improving safety aspects. According to minister of transport Yarob Badr during an inspection tour with a delegation from the company, “This railway is going to be part of the network connecting Turkey with Europe and Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.” This, he said, meant it had to be compatible with the interconnecting lines and match the speeds used in other countries. Badr called for a regional joint study on railway networks and what is being done in neighbouring countries.
