摘要

The Saudi Railways Organisation has approved plans for a new 950km rail line to link the western port of Jeddah with Dammam and Jubail on the east coast. The line, which will pass through the capital Riyadh, is expected to be used mainly for freight and will cost an estimated €7.2 billion. The new stretch of line will be between Jeddah and Riyadh, where it will join existing track to reach Dammam and Jubail. The existing line from Riyadh to Jubail is 449km long, while the track to Dammam is 556km.
