Rail transport in Ghana

The railway system in Ghana has historically been confined to the plains south of the barrier range of mountains north of the city of Kumasi.

However, the 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) narrow gauge railway, totalling 1,300 kilometres,[1] is undergoing major rehabilitation and inroads to the interior are now being made.

[4] The Railway network in Ghana as historically constructed partly by British Colonial Rule comprised three lines which when combined formed an "A" shape.

The railway features state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a 300-meter bridge over the Volta River, which is a significant engineering accomplishment in the region.

To complement the railway line, two Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) trains were procured at a cost of $4.2 million to enhance passenger transportation along the corridor.
