?African countries use a different railway gauges which makes it difficult to
have an integrated railway transport system/transhipment of goods.
? Construction of railways requires large amounts of capital that most countries
lack, either to extend or maintain the existing lines.
? Accidents/vandalism/uprooting of the railway line causes great
losses/delays in transportation.
? Tropical storm waters at times wash away vital sections of the railway lines
thereby disrupting transport/causes accidents.
? Railway transport faces stiff competition from the faster/flexible means of
transport such as road and air transport hence under-utilization of railway
facilities.
? Fuelling/maintenance of railway stations and other related overhead costs
are high thus reducing profit margins.
