Luanda Railway

Luanda Railway

The Luanda Railway, also Luanda Railways and Caminhos de Ferro de Luanda (CFL), is a railway in Angola and was also formerly called the Angola railway. From its terminal at the Atlantic port of Luanda the railway goes inland east to Malanje, without reaching the DRC. The civil war left the railway non-functional, and it is being rehabilitated by a Chinese company that expects its project to be completed by the fall of 2007.
