EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

It was a record performance for Dammam-Saudi Railway Company’s (SAR) mine trains for three consecutive months as their phosphate and Bauxite transfer quantities exceeded 751,000 tons in August.

Rail freight is affiliated with SAR and it has carried about 16 million tons of phosphate and bauxite ores from the day of its commission until August. Notably, SAR is owned by Public Investment Fund, an investment wing of Saudi Ministry of Finance that invested around $5.6 billion (SR 21 billion) in the firm.

SAR’s mine railroad represents the major railway line in Saudi Arabia. It’s  mine trains run 1,395 km from phosphate mines in Hazem al-Jalamid north KSA and bauxite mines central KSA to Ras al-Khair that is known as the Minerals Industrial City. They supply phosphate and bauxite ores to aluminium smelter plants there.
