Myanmar Railways announced that bidding has opened for train cars which will be used for the upgraded railway linking the country’s two largest cities of Yangon and Mandalay. The railway network operator seeks to acquire 24 diesel-electric-type units. Bidding will close in March 2017, with a decision coming later that year.
The carriages will be paid for from roughly 45 billion yen ($391 million) in official development assistance that Japan has said it would provide to Myanmar. The Yangon-Mandalay line project includes upgrading track and railway signaling systems.
