A MULTIBILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY JUST
WAITING FOR YOU TO BE A PART OF.
AN EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE TRANSPORT SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL TO THE
SUCCESS OF ANY ECONOMY AND AFRICA IS NO EXCEPTION. FROM FREIGHT
TO PASSENGER, AFRICAS RAILWAY SYSTEMS HOLDS THE KEY TO THE
CONTINENTS DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE SEEING THIS IN SOME OF THE WORLDS
FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES, WHO CALL AFRICA HOME, WHO RELY ON RAIL.

Africas railways are in a state of much needed upgrade and African governments are giving the green
light to fundamental railway projects. With railway lines that have become too old to operate, cape
gauge railways which need to be upgraded, and outdated signalling systems, railway operators and
transport ministries are making huge changes to their rail networks right now.

We have put together a Project Update eBook for you to browse through. We hope you gain insightful
information on railway projects that are planned or currently underway in Africa and how you can get involved
in developing world class railway systems on the continent.
