to upgrade Saigon-Nha Trang railway routeThe Vietnam Railway Corporation (VNR) has proposed the Ministry of Transport to work out a project to improve the operation of the train on the Saigon-Nha Trang route with the aim of increasing capacity, minimizing the risk caused by human errors. The Saigon - Nha Trang railway route is 411.2km long with 36 train stations. As per proposal, this project will help improve railway infrastructure by applying a unified regulatory center and active safety systems, reducing the number of concurrent parking stops, thus increasing the railway throughput by 35-40 percent. In case it is approved, VNR leaders say, the project is expected to be implemented within 18 months. According to VNR, if the study and implementation of the project on the Nha Trang – Saigon route prove safe and effective, this will lay the basis for consideration and implementation of other similar projects.
