I heard USA doesn't have bullet trains.

I think it's time private investors invests in this train transportation.they will make it big time.

CityNGR:


DO NOT BE SCARED. WE R VOTING OUT POVERTY CLANNISH APPOINTMENTS UNEMPLOYMENT TRIBALISM FALSE ANTI CORRUPTION FIGHTS ON FEB 16!!

AutoReportNG:
In our earlier reportage, we broke the news that the federal government has paid for some locomotive trains. These trains will be used for the Lagos-Ibadan Railway and for the Abuja-Kaduna railway respectively.

AutoReportNG did a review of the trains the federal government is buying, their images and their specs and these may interest you.

1. NDJ3 Quasi-high Speed DMU

NDJ3 “Harmony and the Great Wall” DMU is developed under the transportation demand of Beijing Olympic Games, which commutes between Beijingbei and Yanqing. This DMU is a “2 motor-cars and 7 trailing cars” unit with one motor-car at each end and seven trailing passenger cars fixed in between. The locomotive is equipped with 12V280ZJ diesel engine. The Maximum running speed is 160km/h.

Based on mature technologies, long-term operation and inspection results that got from medium and large overhaul, the performance and reliability of main components such as diesel engine, bogie frame, car body, traction motor used for NDJ3 DMU have been well verified. It is well suited for long steep grade.

Since NDJ3 DMU was formally put into operation in 2008, this train set has been running safely and reliably for 8 years and was well recognized by customers, It was awarded the first Prize of Scientific & Technological Progress of China Railway Society in 2009.

Quorax:


We don't even have a enough train tracks.

goodconscience:


Rail transportation is not a profitable venture. It is usually handled by the government.

sogodihno:
And someone will tell me not to vote for this man because he can't speak well, those that speak well in the past where are they. the clueless one with PHD what did he do? apart from encouraging looting and stealing.


We are not going back to 16years of Darkness.
Is this a contest between jonathan and buhari?
PDP we are burying you on the 16.

sinola:


sometimes,i wonder of what economic importance is that route in Nigeria...Had it bn they had channelled that project from Lagos to Abuja or even from Lagos to Portharcourt,it would have bn of a great relief to travellers and even tourists.Anyway,its my take though.

goodlifehyd:
Thou it might just be a campaign gimmick but i heard Amaechi in Ekiti yesterday saying the project will be linked to that of Abuja and will pass thru Ekiti
