Western Africa - Rail System Nigeria

Rail System Nigeria | Export - Import Train Transportation


A number of separate railroads serve western Africa, with the largest single system in Nigeria. Most of these lines consist of a main stem running inland from each country’s major port, together with a few branches. Their primary function is the transportation of export and import freight, but they also handle substantial and generally increasing passenger traffic. Except in a few cases, each line is limited to its own country. There are also a number of separate railroads built specifically for hauling ore from mines in the interior to ports on the coast (Rail System Nigeria, Export - Import Train Transportation).
