The Tanzania–Zambia Railway Authority said on 10 November that it had suspended passenger and freight trains between Mbeya and Makambako after a derailment damaged several kilometres of track. The authority gave 1 December as the date through which services were suspended and said reopening would depend on repairs and safety checks.
The closure interrupts through trains between Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and New Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia. TAZARA said the Mukuba passenger train would continue operating between New Kapiri Mposhi and Nakonde in Zambia. The Udzungwa service would run between Dar es Salaam and Makambako in Tanzania.
A freight train carrying copper to Dar es Salaam derailed in the Wanging’ombe–Makambako area on 4 November, according to the authority’s statement, reported by Daily News. Fourteen wagons overturned and two people died. TAZARA said it was investigating the cause and advised passengers travelling through the closed section to make alternative arrangements.
