Ghana Railways made immeasurable contribution towards the attainment of the country’s independence in 1957.
It also contributed to the creation of a nation and an economy backed by the rail sector 64 years ago.
The idea to establish a railways sector in 1895 and port in the late 1920s made the Ghana Railways Corporation become the first corporate institution in the then Gold Coast, which gave birth to several other companies.
In spite of its part in the fight for independence and pioneering role in birthing many companies in the country, Ghana Railways is a pale shadow of itself and a former senior management staff of the then Ghana Railways Corporation has lamented the current poor state of the company.
