Metrorail Trains in South Africa
Claremont, Cape Town, South Africa. Per Wiki - "Metrorail is an operator of commuter rail services in the major urban areas of South Africa. It is a division of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA), a state-owned enterprise which is responsible for most passenger rail services in South Africa. The Metrorail system consists of 471 stations, 2,228 kilometres (1,384 mi) of track, and carries an average of 1.7 million passengers per weekday.[1]
Metrorail was formed as a business unit of Transnet and was transferred to the South African Rail Commuter Corporation (SARCC), the predecessor of PRASA. In the early 1990s Metrorail was placed under Spoornet, another business unit of Transnet but on 1 January 1997, Metrorail became an independent business within Transnet and the Metrorail ...

Johannesburg Underground Metro Rail
Transcend hemispheres through a new metro line serving central Johannesburg!
This WEBEO explores the possibilities of an underground metro rail system in the South African city of Johannesburg, which has a population of 5 million within its city limits. Johannesburg is the perfect candidate for such a metro system as there is high foot traffic/density throughout a large area of the central business district. Also, Park station, the main commuter railway station, away from the business districts, so the metro can help ease roadside congestion throughout the city. Finally, the metro will serve underserved regions of central Johannesburg by offering them an alternative to the existing and overcrowded BRT system.
The system consists of two lines. Line 1 connects from Mayfair to Troyeville go...

The Metrorail system consists of 471 stations, 2,228 kilometres (1,384 mi) of track, and carries an average of 1.7 million passengers per weekday.[1]
Metrorail was formed as a business unit of Transnet and was transferred to the South African Rail Commuter Corporation (SARCC), the predecessor of PRASA. In the early 1990s Metrorail was placed under Spoornet, another business unit of Transnet but on 1 January 1997, Metrorail became an independent business within Transnet and the Metrorail regions were formed. In 2006 Metrorail was transferred back into the SARCC; in 2008 the SARCC became PRASA.
Metrorail trains, as with the rest of the South African rail network, run on 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) Cape gauge track. Some routes run on track owned and operated by PRASA; other routes run on track operated by Transnet and also used for long-distance and freight trains.
Most Metrorail services are operated by Electric Multiple Unit train sets of the type 5M2A. Since 1999, these trains are being refurbished. Everything above the underframe is completely removed, and replaced by new, prefabricated wall and roof modules.[7] In 2007 alone more than 300 coaches were refurbished.[8] The new trains are designated 10M3 (Cape Town), 10M4 (Gauteng) or 10M5 (Durban).[9][10]
The Metrorail services on the Eastern Cape are operated by four diesel trains, each consisting of ten coaches and a diesel locomotive.[11]
280 train sets operate on the system,[1] each able to carry up to 1800 passengers.[12]"

Finally, the metro will serve underserved regions of central Johannesburg by offering them an alternative to the existing and overcrowded BRT system.
The system consists of two lines. Line 1 connects from Mayfair to Troyeville going under Commissioner Street downtown. Line 2 intersects line 1 at Gandhi Square, and extends south to Rosettenville, and north to both the University of Johannesburg and Bellevue.
The system will be constructed using a deep tube style, as street disruption will be kept to a minimum. The stations are approximately 0.8 to 1 km apart.
Line 1 (5.61 km): Mayfair, Fordsburg, Westgate, Kort Street, GANDHI SQUARE, Von Wielligh Street, Slovo, Ellis Park, Troyeville
Line 2 (9.89 km): Rosettenville, La Rochelle, Stafford, Village Main, GANDHI SQUARE, Kerk Street, Park, (splits into east and west branch)
{West Branch: City Council, Melle, Witwatersrand, Sunnyside, Uitsaaisentrum, Auckland Park, University of Johannesburg}

6 Best Rail transport systems in Africa

Progress has been made and this is why we've made this countdown, bringing you African countries that so far, has the best rail systems.
6. Nigerian Rail System
The rejuvenated railways in Nigeria are operated by the Nigerian Railway Corporation. As a result of the upgrade, it is now the best in west Africa. Nigeria's rail system consists of 3,505 km of 3 ft 6 inches gauge lines and 507 km of standard gauge lines. Efforts are underway to develop the Cape gauge network as well as construct a new standard gauge network that can help transportation through this means more suitable, this is done as one of the several measures put in place by the Nigerian government to revive the country's de-railed rail system which was down for more than two decades.
5. Kenyan Rail System
The upgraded Kenyan Railway system has promoted Kenya’s economic growth and ushered in a new era of development in Kenya, further improving the national image.
In 2011, Kenya signed a memorandum of understanding with the China Road and Bridge Corporation to build the Mombasa–Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway. Financing for the US$3.6 billion project was finalised in May 2014, with the Exim Bank of China extending a loan for 90% of the project cost, and the remaining 10% coming from the Kenyan government.
4. Ethiopian Rail System
Ethiopia's railway system is the crown jewel in the development ambitions of Africa's fastest-growing economy, which aspires to reach middle-income status by the mid-2021s.
The Addis Ababa–Djibouti Railway is a new standard gauge international railway that serves as the backbone of the new Ethiopian National Railway Network. The railway was inaugurated by Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn on January 1, 2018. It provides landlocked Ethiopia with access to the sea, linking Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa with Djibouti and its Port of Doraleh. More than 95% of Ethiopia's trade passes through Djibouti, accounting for 70% of the activity at the Port of Djibouti.
3. Moroccan Rail System
The trains in Morocco are some of the best in Africa, and they're the ideal choice for getting around between cities. The New 300km/h Al Boraq high-speed trains now link Tangier, Kenitra, Rabat & Casablanca every hour using a new high-speed line.
Traveling by train in Morocco is the most efficient and comfortable way to get around. The train network in Morocco is not very extensive but many of the major tourist destinations are covered.
2. Egyptian Rail System
Egypt was the location of the very first railway line in Africa, opened in 1854 between Alexandria and Kafr-el-Zayat, extending to Cairo two years later. The rail line was built to standard gauge. The line subsequently extended to Suez, and for a few years prior to the opening of the Suez Canal, a great deal of Anglo-Indian traffic was carried between the two points, avoiding the long and perilous sea journey around the Cape of Good Hope.
A proposal exists to extend the railway from Aswan to Wadi Halfa in Sudan, where it would connect with the Sudan Railways network. The extension would effectively replace an existing ferry service on the river Nile.
1. South African Rail System
Rail transport in South Africa is an important element of the country's transport infrastructure. All major cities are connected by rail, and South Africa's railway system is the most highly developed in Africa. The South African rail industry is publicly owned. Though there are no plans to end government-ownership of the national rail network, some small portions of the rail system have recently been privatised.
There are several completely different train services, such as Shosholoza Meyl long-distance passenger trains which is comfortable & amazingly cheap, there's also the Premier Classe trains which is Luxury on a budget. South has the most developed rail system in Africa which is why it is placed at Number 1. On this list.
