Rebuilding Railways - Eritrea

April 1996Antiquated, iron trains have stood abandoned for 20 years during Eritrea's war with Ethiopia. Now an army of veteran rail workers and their new apprentices are coaxing them back to life. The Eritrean people are determined to reconstruct their dilapidated railway without any outside help. In the hot, dusty hills, they rescue the old rails from bunkers used during the war. All 169,000 steel sleepers have to be dug up from the ground, straightened and hauled back to the original track. They aim to complete 120 km of track, snaking from the coast to the capital. Transport Minister, Giorgis Teklemikael, says Eritrea's self-reliance and 'can do' philosophy will prevail. A train operating between Massawa and its suburbs is the first sign of success.

Primitive animals? Come on Ethiojegna3 you can come up with something better than that no? go back to the think tank you can do it!You can't even say that with a strait face. But i'd guess we should submit to the western world, other rich countries, and become little puppets like you right?

the railway track from Asmara to Massawa on the coast was completed a few years ago. it's already operational although it carries mainly tourists and steam train enthusiasts. there are plenty of clips on youtube showing the trains in operation.
