EASTERN RAIL: A Scam On South East and Eastern Region by BKayy: 2:02pm On Mar 09, 2021 |
The Notorious Eastern Rail will be a Rail line that will run from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri on two rails. Narrow Guage - For the SS and SE parts it pass through which is from Bonny to Port Harcourt, Owerri (through Nnewi), Awka, Abakiliki to the North. Mind you this is a one way line cutting through these cities. Now the problem here is the rail line of choice (Narrow Guage). This particular rail line is outdated and mostly used in transporting cargoes (Their true intention). In fact it will not be a new rail line but a rehabilitation of the abandoned British colonial Narrow Guage rail rotting in Eastern (that is basically patching it up). Travelling on it is unrealistic and will take up to a full day to travel from Port Harcourt to Awka On getting to the North, the rail line after offloading it's cargo for the Northerners switches from Narrow-gauge to Standard Guage(the type used for Lagos-Ibadan railway) the new rail line will now connect Abuja to Kafanchan from their to Gombe and her towns , Adamawa and her towns and finally Borno and her towns. This will now ease transport cost and time because the train to be used in the Northern side will be high speed trains in contrary to the Cargo ones in SE. Mind you the cargo ones are not importing to SE but to channel to North. After reading this and discovering that this railway is actually for channeling cargoes to the North and for transportation in the North, is it safe to call it Eastern Rail or Northern Rail? https://punchng.com/fg-approves-3-02bn-for-ph-maiduguri-rail-line/ https://www.thecable.ng/amaechi-ph-maidugri-rail-cover-2000km-six-states/amp PS: 1) Rail line determines the type of train that runs on it. 2) The train that runs on Narrow Guage line is different from a Train that runs on standard Guage (No train uses two different rail line) 3) 3/5 of the world railway is standard Guage (ideal for high speed and human transport ie Modern/contemporary) 4) Narrow Guage does not support high speed and is ideal for Cargo transport (not ideal for human transport because of low speed ie Outdated) 5)They are not actually building a new narrow Guage but to patch up the existing abandoned colonial Narrow Guage https://www.britannica.com/technology/gauge-railroad-track 2 Likes

LadySarah:The rail way is like the Chinese silk road for the benefit of only North. Imagine two rail lines with the outdated one for taking cargoes from the SS to North and the modern one for Northerners to ease transport yet one person called it Eastern Rail. The SE cities are just the ones it cut across on its way to North 4 Likes 1 Share |

theFilmtric:Hope you know you can't lie on the Internet and go Scott free. Narrow Guage rail line is not suitable for high speed trains compared to broader lines like standard gauge. Check here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railway But there are cases that conservative countries like Italy and Australia order for manufacture of Narrow Guage line with improved speed (can never be like that of standard gauge) for their existing narrow Guage. These specific narrow Guage line cost too much like the Italian own you posted which costs 22.5 million Euros for 4 units. Check here https://www.railtech.com/rolling-stock/2019/01/15/stadler-to-supply-more-narrow-gauge-trains-to-italy/?gdpr=accept That is about 5.6 million euros per unit and you expect Nigeria to spend that on one customized train that will run in SE? Oga we are getting what is even worse than what I posted. The width determines the speed a rail line can take just like width of cars. The narrower it is the lesser it's balance because of Center of gravity levels 13 Likes |

BKayy: It's the same way they vehemently refused to elevate the second Niger bridge so that bigger ships can pass under the bridge after dredging for the proposed Onitsha river port. Infact, in a former plan during the Babangida administration, the bridge was supposed to have a rail line constructed with it. But this was yanked off. . You know what? This also means that no bigger ship will ever get to any proposed port in the North eg Lokoja or any other port up north linked to river Niger, since such route must pass Onitsha... Essentially, folks are ready to cut off their hateful noses just to spite their clannish faces.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Rugaria:All their projects are not for the development of SE and SS. Second Niger Bridge is to facilitate the evacuation of people (Human resources from SE to Lagos) This scam railway is simply for transportation of resources/cargoes to North because no reasonable person will board a train from ph to Awka only to reach the destination next day (reason for narrow Guage). They will start with passengers but will change overtime to their true intention in few years because nobody will board it. 5 Likes |

BKayy: In the end, a futuristic rail system must be built in alaigbo in my lifetime! Took the fast speed train from Beijing to Guangzhou months ago and I can't help but wonder why the "Spirit of Small thinking" has caged the typical Nigerian politician! You need to see glittering train stations.. glass, marble and steel! Wouldn't be surprised if they were built for less price compared to this prehistoric edifice about to be used to deface the east by Amaechi and his disastrous gang.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

BKayy:I'm lying?? This bkayy is telling me that I'm lying Wonders will never end All your posts I've seen have lies in them I'll use the article you posted “Since narrow-gauge railways are usually built with tighter curves, smaller structure gauges, and lighter rails, they can be less costly to build, equip, and operate than standard- or broad-gauge railways (particularly in mountainous or difficult terrain). Lower- cost narrow-gauge railways are often used in mountainous terrain, where engineering savings can be substantial. Lower-cost narrow-gauge railways are often built to serve industries as well as sparsely populated communities where the traffic potential would not justify the cost of a standard- or broad-gauge line. Narrow-gauge railways have specialized use in mines and other environments where a small structure gauge necessitates a small...~wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrow-gauge_railway So there are reasons Look for those reasons and stop causing a nuisance Bkayy I've replied you a long time ago But anti spam bot banned me theFilmtricsay 1 Like |

PROUDIGBO:Imagine the Audacity of Buhari and his Northern cohorts to pull this kind of stunt on us in this modern age. The guy is implementing the British colonial style of moving resources to the Empire and most of the so called Igbo educated men didn't notice. One project with two rail lines. One for moving resources to the Empire (North) and the other for luxurious transport for Northerners. And they have the guts to call it Eastern Rail in our very own eyes. Something we won't use at all. 2 Likes |
