The project, set to transport 6 million passengers annually, appears to have overcome the obstacles delaying its construction.
A quarter-trillion-dollar railway project in the Persian Gulf has finally gained some momentum, despite various political obstacles having so far stalled it at the developmental phase.Expected to span over 1,240 miles along the coast, the Gulf Railway will stretch from Muscat in Oman to Kuwait City, providing a swift connection for both passengers and freight between the major urban centers of the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council .
Each of the six GCC member states is responsible for carrying out the part of the project that falls within its borders, but political and economic challenges both within and among the six nations have prevented the GCC Railway from gathering much steam.In 2016, Mohammed Al Shuaili of the Omani Ministry of Transport and Communications told the Times of Oman that his country would be halting work on the GCC Railway as it appeared other Gulf states had 'decided to stop work on the project.
