Railway Characteristics
Passenger and Freight Single Line Track (Double tracks in certain areas)
Diesel Traction Tunnels in the mountainous regions Double stack containers
![Page 24: GCC Railway](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042502/589ac5371a28abcf058b5c3b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Air conditioned trains at speeds of up to 200km/h
Run in each direction every two hours mainly during the day
Freight trains operating at 80-120km/h, and will operate mainly at night
Diesel engine will cut the greenhouse gas emissions compared with road
transportation
Statistically, rail transportation is significantly safer

Project Phases
KSA + UAEUnder construction
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
KSA• Extending the existing rail network• 200km of line is under construction
UAE• ETIHAD railway project and has completed 120km• ETIHAD railway will finish in 2018 and will be connected to
GCC railway
![Page 29: GCC Railway](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042502/589ac5371a28abcf058b5c3b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
QATAR + OMAN Will start execution
Qatar• Qatar Rail expects to receive bids on April 2015• Working on Metro project for world cup 2022• Will finish 2018
Oman• Oman railway tender will start late 2015• Railway construction will start 2016• Will finish 2018

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3
BAHRAIN + KUWAIT Planning
Bahrain• Still in design phase• Expected to end by late 2019
Kuwait• Conducted a 5 year plan for its national railway system• Will be fully operational by late 2018
Project Phases

Progress to Date
Target operational date still set for 2018
Detailed engineering design work is nearing completion this year (2015)
Approximately 400 kilometers of track is already under construction/ constructed
![Page 32: GCC Railway](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042502/589ac5371a28abcf058b5c3b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Technical Challenges
Desert environment and sand movement in which the network is being built.
The section between Al Ain in the UAE and Sohar in Oman passes through the Al Hajar Mountains, which rise to 10,000 ft.
Only Saudi Arabia, has any experience of constructing and operating heavy railways and that experience is fairly limited.
Everybody will be competing for the same resources.
Skills shortage.
Scope creep.
