It is dying a slow, but sure death. Seeing the steam locomotive pass from Ghindae to Asmara gives me joy and sadness at the same time. Joy because it looks beautiful, especially with the great mountainous landscape there. Sad because the technology of over a hundred years sums up the problem of infrastructure in Eritrea. No new investments, no new railways, no new rolling stock, no projects to connect with other countries. Ethiopia and Djibouti will probably finalize their railway network from Addis to Djibouti this year. South Sudan is in the process of building a railway line from Juba to Addis to Djibouti. These countries indeed know how important it is to have a railway network. Hopefully one day Eritrea will have a government that realizes that importance too.Yohannes Afewerkinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-16496209651862181612015-01-13T14:05:52.976-08:002015-01-13T14:05:52.976-08:00The saddest part is that remembering Eritrean rail...The saddest part is that remembering Eritrean railway, we think of the distant past. There is currently no significant railway infrastructure. No continuous passenger or cargo transport. Just the occasional tourist experience. Some countries in the region are building thousands of miles of rail since they understand the importance of this cheap mode of transport. Eritrea unfortunately has no serious plans to build new railway infrastructure.Tedrosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-58012383589970647432015-01-13T10:03:21.814-08:002015-01-13T10:03:21.814-08:00I am glad this historical facts is raised here for...I am glad this historical facts is raised here for important reasons i.e on one hand I am from a village where train was the only transportaion means. School and clinic were available at that time. My grandfather sent my Dad because he understands the importance of education then. I have used the present train til Arebirebu where we came back with full of 'tiki'. On the other hand it reveals how Eritrea's civilization was dilapidated because of colonization.GUESTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-87294996023209583562015-01-13T09:05:33.426-08:002015-01-13T09:05:33.426-08:00Indeed Dr.Samuel,Without a doubt..well saidIndeed Dr.Samuel,Without a doubt..well saidSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-62376426063580083102015-01-13T08:19:00.392-08:002015-01-13T08:19:00.392-08:00The railway in #Eritrea is indeed a significant en...The railway in #Eritrea is indeed a significant engineering achievement and an important part of the history of the country.
