One of the two recently acquired trains from Poland set to commence operations by the end of May this year has been involved in an accident.
According to reports, the incident occurred during a test run in the Asuogyaman District.
The incident comes after Minister of Railways Development John Peter Amewu announced the successful assembly and installation of the first unit of modern trains procured by the government onto the railway track.
John Peter Amewu earlier revealed that the initial units, comprising 12 modern passenger coaches, will undergo testing on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line.
Mr Amewu revealed that both mechanical and electrical tests are scheduled to be conducted soon to facilitate practical testing of the trains on the railway.
The trains to ply the Tema-Mpakadan railway line were received by Ghana a fortnight ago.
The second batch of trains is anticipated to be shipped in May this year and is slated to arrive in Ghana by August 2024.
