Rail Link Between Kinshasa and Kongo-Central Nears Resumption After Successful Inspection
Kinshasa–Kongo-Central Railway Set to Resume Operations Following Track Inspection
The long-awaited resumption of rail traffic between Kinshasa and Kongo-Central is drawing closer after a successful inspection of the railway line on Wednesday evening.
The line runs from Kinshasa’s central station to Kasangulu.
According to Eddy Eyoko, secretary of the Kasangulu territory, a locomotive pulling three luxury coaches made the journey to assess the condition of the track.
“This field trip is part of preparations for the upcoming resumption of urban rail traffic. The objective was to check the practicability of the track to ensure safety and the smooth flow of the journey,” Eyoko explained.
The technical teams evaluated the state of the railway infrastructure and identified adjustments needed before the official relaunch of the service.
The reopening of this rail link, which connects the capital with Kongo-Central province, is eagerly awaited by commuters and travelers who rely on this important transport corridor.
