Rail transport in Sudan
Sudan
has 4,725 kilometers of
narrow-gauge

that serve the northern and central portions of the country. The main line runs from
Wadi Halfa
on the
Egyptian
border to
Khartoum
and southwest to
Al Ubayyid
via
Sannar
and
Kosti, Sudan
, with extensions to
Nyala
in
Southern Darfur
and
Wau
in
Western Bahr al Ghazal
,
South Sudan
. Other lines connect
Atbarah
and
Sannar
with
Port Sudan
, and Sannar with
Ad Damazin
. A 1,400-kilometer line serves the
al Gezira
cotton
-growing region. A modest effort to upgrade rail transport is currently underway to reverse decades of neglect and declining efficiency. Service on some lines may be interrupted during the rainy season.
