Abstract
The nature of the transportation system of any Country in the world determines the
standard of social life of its people Similarly, the economy of any nation also depends
largely on its transportation network and efficiency
The need for transportation as an important and essential ingredient for human existence
cannot be overemphasised The demand for transportation for various purposes is ever on
the increase in the modern world Experts in the area of transportation technology are
working ceaselessly to meet up with these demands by improving on the design and
engineering of various modes of transportation
Comfort, safety and speed have become important factors in the choice of the mode of
transport by the individual traveller, therefore, intermodal competition is also on the
increase as transport sectors are trying hard to use various techniques and modern
innovations to attract passengers (or travellers)
Rail travel has entered a new age of high speed Sleek trains with unsurpassed levels of
comfort and efficiency are needed to meet the new world demand for enhanced steel
wheel technology.
Everyday train move people, products, equipment, fuel and food in an efficient,
economical and environmentally desirable manner Unfortunately, this statement is not
very true of Nigeria today. The essential requirement for a modern and efficient railway
system is lacking in the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), and thus, the present
predicament.
