BAGHDAD, April 26 (AKnews) - Iraq's Ministry of Transportation has completed procedures to purchase six modern and up-to-date trains from Turkey.
The new trains, worth $9m, are part of the General Company for Railways plan to revamp railways system across the country. said Jawad al-Khorasan, spokesperson for Iraqi Railways' Directorate.
The trains will be put into service this May and are hoped to help boost the railway's income.
Khorasan said the trains are appropriate for the Iraqi climate and the nature of the Iraqi railways.
The revamp will replace Iraq's trains which are generally old and incapable of competing with the trains of other countries in the region.
