Haramain High Speed Rail Project - Railway Technology

I was in Madinah/ Mekkah the last two weeks performing my umrah. In one of the visits to Mina, I observed the construction activities for the Haramain High Speed Rail. Linked below are more information about the project....

The Haramain High Speed Rail Project, announced by the Saudi Railway Organization, involves a 450km rail link between Makkah (Mecca) and Madinah. It will also pass through Jeddah and Rabigh in Saudi Arabia. Other components of the project include high-speed trains fitted with the latest equipment and five ultra-modern passenger stations – one in Mecca, two in Jeddah, one at King Abdul Aziz International Airport and one in Madinah. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.
