Saudi Railway Organization

www.saudirailways.org

Rail transport is a vital support to growth and development in any country. While the Saudi economy is the largest in the Middle East and one of the world’s 25 largest, the size and expanse of the Kingdom’s rail transport does not match that nor does it mach the promising potential of the national economy.

SRO is working very hard to provide the best services possible within the current operational structure. However, the Saudi Government, realizing the value rail transport adds to national development, had launched a number of initiatives to bring this vital service up to bar with the developmental needs of the country. These initiatives include major expansion projects to connect the Western Regions of the Kingdom with the Eastern Region, the Northern with the Central and to link the Holy Places as well.

The developmental initiatives also include moving towards privatizing SRO and opening the door for national and foreign investments in it to pollster its ability to support national development..

We in SRO take these initiatives very seriously and are working diligently to turn the wise strategic vision of our government into realty, because we understand and can actually see the abundant benefits our nation will reap from it.
