Railway stations in Libya

Today there are no functioning railway stations active in the country, but new ones are planned, as part of a new railroad system.

Served by a host of small stations, the Kingdom of Italy built nearly 400 km of railways with 950 mm (3 ft 1+3⁄8 in) gauge during their rule of the region.

By the 1960s, there were only two small railways in Libya, departing from Benghazi and serving classical Littorine: Benghazi-Barce and Benghazi-Soluch.

With backing from Russian Railways and China, work started in September 2008 with earthworks begun between Sirte and Ras Ajdir, Tunisia border, in 2001-5,[3] and in 2008 and 2009 various contracts were placed and construction work started on a 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge railway parallel to the coast from the Tunisian border at Ras Ajdir to Tripoli, and on to Misrata, Sirte, Benghazi and Bayda.
