OVERVIEW<br />
UAE’s ambitious<br />
nation-wide rail<br />
network on anvil<br />
The UAE embarks on its first nation-wide 1,500<br />
km long freight and passenger rail network at a<br />
cost of Dh 40 billion. Eric Francis reports<br />
The nation-wide rail network stretching<br />
1,500 kms will extend from Abu<br />
Dhabi’s Western region through<br />
Dubai, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah,<br />
Ras Al Khaimah and Ajman. A feasibility<br />
study is also being undertaken <strong>to</strong> build a<br />
high-speed passenger rail between Abu<br />
Dhabi and Dubai. The first phase of the<br />
project will include the 270km rail line<br />
specifically for freight linking Abu Dhabi’s<br />
Shah Sour gas field <strong>to</strong> Ruwais.<br />
