The Nigeria Railway Corporation on Wednesday commenced its maiden free trial run aboard the Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail track. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the corporation took delivery of three 80-passenger capacity standard gauge coaches, one 56- passenger capacity executive coach and one Parcel/Guard van coach on March 2. The trial ride which took off from the corporation’s Idu Station in Abuja at 8.27 a.m. traversed the NRC stations at Kuchibon, Asham, Jere, Gidan, Rijauna, Dutse, Kakau and arrived in Rigasa in Kaduna at 12.42 p.m. An individual standard coach which is 1,437 mm as against the 1,067 mm of the narrow gauge in width has a 57.2 tare weight with 150 km/h speed. Mr Fidet Okhiria, Managing Director, who described the trial as successful, said that the purpose was to perform strategic inspection and attract passenger traffic. ``It is the first time we are running passenger train on standard gauge and that makes it unique. I can say so far, so good, the ride was smooth.
