Terrorists had on March 28 attacked the AK9 Abuja-Kaduna train, killing at least nine people, injuring several others, and abducting many others.
The NRC said the connection of the Abuja-Kaduna train service line had been achieved.
It stated: “This implies that the major track components (concrete sleepers and rails) have been completely laid. The south end of the tracks (which was destroyed by the explosion) has been successfully joined with the north end. Track access between Abuja and Kaduna is now restored”.
“Loco 2502 which was involved in the accident (though not damaged) and trapped at the Rigasa end due to lack of route access has now crossed to the Idu end and taken to the workshop for proper examination and routine maintenance.”
