Ghana Railway Company To Begin Test Run Of Accra-Tema Rail Lines
The Ghana Railway Company Limited is set to begin a test run of the Accra-Tema shuttle service which was suspended October last year.
The test run which will begin this weekend is expected to end on 31st December to pave way for normal operations to start January next year.
The 24-kilometre rail-line was suspended after an accident on the Tesano side in October last year.
The train normally leaves Tema at 6:30 am through Asaprochona in Sakumono, then to Baatsona, Shangrila, Dzowulu, Achimota, Odo at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, then to Kantamanto in Accra.
The Deputy Managing Director of the Ghana Railway Company Limited, Dr Michael Anyetei disclosed that the rehabilitation work which costs about GHc15 million was done by the engineers at the Ghana Railway Company Limited.
“I can tell you for a fact that the whole project was done in-house by the workers of the Railway Company without any external intervention and we spent about GHc15million roughly,” he noted.
