The chief executive officer of the Ghana Railway Development Authority, Yaw Owusu had previously disclosed that the second train is scheduled for shipment in May and is expected to arrive in August.
Ahead of their official commissioning, these modern trains will undergo testing on the new 100km Tema to MPakadan railway line. President Akufo-Addo is expected to officially commission the trains in June this year, marking a new era in railway transportation development across the country.
