PHOTO NEWS ; New Railway Equipments Land In Portharcourt. by PhockPhockMan: 4:06pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
On my recent business trip to PortHarcourt railway station, I was shocked and at the same time impressed at what my eyes saw. Even though I always believed the president’s amazing achievement in that sector as always propagated here by my fellow "REAL PROGRESSIVE", sincere9gerian, but they say seeing is believing. When I asked, they told me that small part of the equipments is for completion of portharcourt - Maiduguri rail line which is expected to be commissioned before the end of the year , while the rest are for another rail projects. Even though I was not allowed to take pictures of more important equipments in the warehouse, I was able to take some pictures of rail track, including yet to be offloaded ones, which is in over 28 lorries. 8 Likes 3 Shares

Thanks for the pics op. I am looking forward to the completion of the port harcourt maiduguri line. It will really open up the east. On top of that the east west road which connects all niger delta states is also due for commissioning before the end of the year. The economic benefits of these 2 projects to the north east, eastern and south south regions will be immense. 4 Likes 1 Share |

nice one... my only beef with him is, he is afraid to step on powerful toes which anyone on his right sense would do but right now, am not looking for anyone with his right sense. am looking for that leader who is willing to lay down his life for Nigeria and if 1 strand of his hair is touched we are going to bring the whole country down with him. 2 Likes |

I personally thank GEJ for being a human just like me with sympathy, a conscience, humility, care for the common man by delivering the dividends of democracy. For all those who have no honor, regard or respect for the President, I wish you goodluck in your anger/hatred pursuit. God bless 18 Likes |

Re: PHOTO NEWS ; New Railway Equipments Land In Portharcourt. by Nobody: 4:50pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
Obiagelli: You don't know what you're talking about. Narrow gauge lines are still in use throughout Europe and America. Nobody goes around dismantling those lines. They are always rehabilitated, but when you build new lines, you build standard gauge. That's what Nigeria is doing too. Some countries like Japan and South Africa, use exclusively narrow gauge lines: ''In some countries, narrow gauge is the standard, like the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge in Japan, Taiwan, New Zealand, South Africa, and Tasmania, and the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) metre gauge in Malaysia and Thailand.'' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow_gauge_railway 10 Likes |

I was expecting to see a modern rail terminus with new standard gauge lines being installed but instead its lorries that can disappear tomorrow into thin air. |

ROSSIKE:Those narrow gauges are usually converted/updated to standard gauges. You ain't talking to a dunce here. From the 19th into the early 20th there were many 600 mm (1 ft 11 5⁄ 8 in) and 760 mm (2 ft 5 15 ⁄ 16 in) gauge railways in existence Bulgaria, some were dismantled and others were converted to standard gauge. 1 Like |

Obiagelli: Post the link to your source. Also, there is no ''usually'' here. Japan is not ''usually'' converting its narrow gauge lines. Neither are South Africa, New Zealand, Taiwan etc. Narrow gauge lines are THE standard in those places. Can't you read? And it's 'gauge', not 'gauges'. 12 Likes |

ROSSIKE:Thanks for the English lesson, are you by chance saying narrow gauge is the standard in Japan? Taken from: http://en.wikipedia....ki/Narrow_gauge " Except for the high-speed Shinkansen lines and JR East Ou Main Line and Tazawako Line, all of Japan Railways Group 's network is narrow gauge, built at 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in). Some companies, such as Kintetsu , Keisei Electric Railway , Keihin Electric Express Railway , Hankyu Railway , Toei Asakusa Line , Tokyo Metro 's Ginza Line and Marunouchi line , use standard gauge. Tokyo's Keio Corporation network and the Toei Shinjuku subway line, which operate through services, use an exceptional1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) gauge. This gauge is also used on the Tokyo and Hakodate tramways. Japan adopted 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) as a standard narrow gauge for minor, forestry and industrial lines. However, most of these narrow gauge lines were abandoned, and only four lines remain in operation ( Kintetsu Utsube Line, Kintetsu Hachioji Line , Sangi Railway , and Kurobe Gorge Railway ).
