ISRAEL Railways has outlined plans to build a network of 11 lines totalling 475km to serve both Israelis and Palestinians living in the West Bank. However, construction priorities and costs have yet to be determined.
THE Israeli government unanimously approved on February 5 the construction of a 350km line to connect the Gulf of Aqaba port of Eilat with the Mediterranean port of Ashdod south of Tel Aviv.
The first Vossloh Euro 4000 locomotive for Israel Railways arrived in the country from Spain last month.
