A fact from Rail transport in Ethiopia appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 December 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Imperial Railway Company of Ethiopia attempted unsuccessfully to build a railroad from Djibouti to Addis Ababa in the 1890s?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/December.

Rewriting

I have re-written the page, as a new railroad network is being built and thus "rail transport in Ethiopia" is no longer synonymous with the Addis Ababa Djibouti railroad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simfan34 (talk • contribs) 03:11, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question

What length freight trains will operate on the new system?

Passenger trains?

See Longest trains.

Brakes are almost certainly to be Air Brake or ECPB.

What type coupler (railway) would be used?

Sources for article expansion

This is annoying. The EAE is great for stuff like this, but the volume with the "Railways" article isn't available online at all. Anyone have a university library handy? — $Llywelyn II$ 14:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
