    Newly acquired when the trains are still at the factory? Tell us they went on an excursion to the factory and were given a demonstration. The Ghana Flag is a removable sticker.

  • Sethoo 10 months ago

    NPP PARTY GYIMII NE ILLITERACY. WHO WILL PUT HEAVY TRAIN TOGETHER AND SHIP TO GHANA WITH WHICH SHIP. GYIMIII NE AZAA NKOAAA.

  • Wofa K, N.Y. City 10 months ago

    Why diesel-powered, but NOT Electrical (Battery-powered) ?
    Did they consider emission issues ? Are we still in the 19th Century era ?
    Ghana's problems are still unabated.

  • Panther Anansi 10 months ago

    Yes, the government just imposed a levy on emissions on us but they themselves are importing diesel-powered trains. What kind of nonsense is this?

  • Asikan 10 months ago

    It will help cut down on pollution!

  • John Doe 10 months ago

    Not true boss. It will rather enhance pollution

  • Panther Anansi 10 months ago

    You're right brother, we must look after the environment, but Ghana must make smart moves. Even the fact that we still can't manufacture trains, at least can we get electric powered or hybrid trains? Hmmm

  • CORNEY 10 months ago

    Say that again, in this modern world who will import a diesel operated train, are they out of their minds?
    Just another easy way to chop, chop, chop money.

  • Elephant Farmer 10 months ago

    Since 1962 Switzerland uses electric trains like the ABDE. They cross German border and move along Bodensee/ Lake Konstanz. End stop is Maggie Factory in Singen Hohentwiel. Use ONGA and diesel trains from the ex popes County ...

  • CHS 10 months ago

    You go for diesel so you charge emission tax on the ticket

  • Nana 10 months ago

    Double standards?
    So let me get this straight, the government is taxing us for emissions from petrol powered vehicles and yet it is importing diesel powered trains?

  • Mike Tyson Jnr 10 months ago

    This is all we can afford right now. You don't go from not having no high speed trains strait to fully electric ones. Besides all the lines in the country are not yet electrified nor do we have enough generation capacity to ...
