Ghana Railway Corporation operates the railways of Ghana. The Ghana Railway Company Limited is a public-sector body with responsibility for the efficient management of the national rail system so as to enhance the smooth movement of goods and passengers.
The original 304-kilometre (189 mi) Eastern Railway was built in 1923 by the British for the purpose of hauling minerals and cocoa.
Currently the Accra to Tema, Accra to Kotoku, and Awaso to Dunkwa and south to Takoradi are the only parts of the Ghana railway lines in operation.
About 1,300 kilometres of railway lines in Ghana are undergoing major rehabilitation.
Today I am taking the train from Tema all the way to Accra and sharing my experiences along the way.

My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what its like to live in Ghana, from the Ghanaian food, to the Ghanaian culture, to the Ghanaian lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and help inspire to explore Ghana.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
They need to expand it to cover other parts of Accra and add new stations and routes also fence the entire railway line to prevent people and animals encroachment.
I think so too. It will be so much safer. Its still a work in progress though so xx
That is why vnew lines are being built along side the old lined
It's a process luv
Kenyan here, it's a cool train. The management should however increase the height of the platform to be the same level as the door to make it easier for people moving in and out, especially the disabled
They should try and give the coaches some nice revamping and paint the entire train . Those writings on the train wall does not look appealing at all ?
If you buy land nearby you can make it a pay and park and have shuttles busses that comes back and forth every 15 to 30 minutes.
Great idea
In as much as Ghana has its fair share if problems but some times we should try to remain positive that we will develop, the other countries we say are better than Ghana also have their own issues. Most of our problems are made by ourselves
This is bringing back memories of travelling from Takoradi to Kumasi with my mother and brothers. We used to take the sleeper and we'd travel overnight. We'd be in kumasi by morning. That was when the train used to move from side to side. Scary but fun 😃😀
This is why Ghana is so awesome
Just when I thought I was done with Accra
But that train ride is a must
Thanks Jasmine 👍🏾
Absolute must ❤️
The country should invest more into this rail infrastructure and development.. it will go a long way thr help the country
Brilliant video. Gradually Ghana will also get there. Thanks for showcasing a major infrastructural development in our beloved country. Soon we will have speed trains too just like Europe
I think that "soon" is too optimistic 😅
The train looks like the same trains we used in the 60s. I'm glad we've trains again. Hopefully, I'll get to ride soon when I'm in 🇬🇭 Ghana. Thank you for video.
Trains aren't really the main transport mode so it's not really invested into
@@aberba that should change
Awesome 💯
You made me remember my first train ride. I was very excited I was 16 years old and by myself. I was returning home after spending the summer at my Grandfathers farm in Oklahoma going home to Virginia. I even changed trains at GRAND CENTRAL STATION in Chicago Ill. Part of the trip the train went very fast and the track was smooth. And one part was very ruff, so bad I thought we would derail even though the train was going about 30 mph.
Thanks, for the insight. Thumb up.
Thx for sharing. Enjoyed the ride with you.
You're doing a great job
Good one here Ama .
informative. thanks for the share
Loved it! Something I want to do!
Here in Japan the older trains usually runs on the country side, they maybe older but inside looks new and cleaner as the modern ones. Ghana too shall one day get there
Sure 🌈🌈🌈🇬🇭💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
So lovely 😊

Oh okay, thank you. I thought you mention those two details in the beginning
I love that you stated aS an alternative to avoid traffic… great video very educative!
What you said to us is right on
I never knew there was a train in Ghana. Thank you.
Nice video
LOVE THEM OLD TRAINS 🚆 😍, TIMES WAS MUCH MORE SIMPLER. 😇😇😇
Cool experience jazz wow✅ central station looks similar to Townsville train station 🌞
I just bumped into your video and l enjoyed the content that makes me subscribe to your channel.Thanks for sharing your train ride experience with your followers. Hopefully when I visit Ghana some time next year, you can help me to know where to go around Accra.Nice video and have a great week.
Documentary style video, real nice the way we do in California!😎
Jas your content beauty cannot surpass your elegance. Well presented great information. The development of the railway system in Ghana is so important for national development, and setting Ghana's role for future development of the continent.
So we are still using this old trains oh my goodness I taught something new
Kudos to you for putting Ghana out there. . . . Your hair plug must be commended
This is awesome to see. Hope they expand and add more schedules. Wondering were there a lot more people coming on as you got to Accra central? If you mentioned that already sorry I missed it lol. Thanks again Jasmine for a very informative video.

I love train rides and would definately go on the this one. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️
Thanks a lot, I need new that there are trains in Ghana
They stopped operating during covid but its back up and running again x
Nice to see you do that it encourage others to use it 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
Yeah lots of people don’t know about it. ❤️
It is a nice train and environmentally friendly ride but I think Ghana deserves better
Nice view

Thank you for this video Jasmine! I love getting on trains. The next time I'm in ghana I'll try and get on a train 😊
Ur welcome x
Thanks for taking us on this train ride- I found it really interesting. Cheers xx
Glad to hear ❤️
You remind me of being at Accra in 2011-2012 , I use this Train to Insawan .
Freetown Sierra Leone
I must have this experience, whenever l come back again to Ghana and great experience 🤗❤️
Definitely worthwhile ❤️
Looks like a comfortable ride tho
It was ❤️
Good good l love it video , very nice one.
I use to take the from tema to cicle every saturday in the seventies, my dad was a yardforman.also travel with it to Tarkwa in the western region it is fun riding.
How lovely
That's great 👍, I'll like to try this the next time I'm in Ghana, thanks alot jasmine 🇬🇧🇧🇴🤩😇
❤️
Your hair looks great 💞
Thanks x
Greetings from Aussie 👍
Hello 🤗
Jasmine thanks for sharing. The commentary was on point. I am glad to see the Tema to Accra train line back in business. These trains are very old. Back in the west you find much newer trains including very high speed trains that would have done this journey in about 30 minutes. But Ghana has gone in the right direction with fixing the lines and sprucing the trains. I can’t wait to see the newer trains.
Odorgorno is the name of a Senior High School in that neighborhood not the name of the neighborhood. Also the railway lines were there years before most of these neighborhoods got developed as they are now. Jasmine was all smiles when she mentioned Achimota Station, I think she was thinking about her old high school.
Wow! ACHIMOTA🇬🇭 You noticed right🐽🇬🇭🦉
Thank you for sharing this video about the train ride as I have asked many tour guides when I arrive to Accra if there is a railway system, yet no one seemed to have that knowledge. This has been the answer to years of inquiry! This was such an enjoyable video!
So glad to hear ❤️
Everybody at all want to be a tour guide in Ghana, however most of them are ignorant and have less knowledge about the country. They are just taking advantage of tourists.
i did a train video recently, your video is very nice and detailed! keep it up!
Thanks x
That train, looks proper solid iron and metal. Meaning it looks like an old Soviet train😂, but I guess is better than no train at all
Definitely lol x
An hour and half ride from Tema to Accra central is not too bad. Driving on that Motorway can be a bit stressful with frustrating traffic. Thats why I always wakes up early whenever I'm going on a trip via that motorway. But traffic in Accra in general is atrocious. Not to mention the crazy driving. It always takes me at least a week to get acclimated to driving conditions out there. But this was a very nice adventurous ride.
Yeah, driving in Ghana is no small feet. 🤣
Yes ooh. And as things progressing, I hope the authorities will put in place Undercover Agents to track down "pick-pocket" or groups that opposes danger to the ravelling public. The world today is not the world we knew in the 60's & 70's. We heard what occurred on Nigeria train ooh. Step up Security Agents 🌎🇬🇭.
Ghana has a brighter future.The train movement is paired with the google navigation map,look at how everything is arranged accordingly and how neat and clean the train is although it is old.I saw people sitting on top of train in India and Pakistan.
This one is well kept i must say x
Yes, this one is far👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 better than India own oo. Ghana 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🇬🇭
They also have to run the train at least 3 times daily .
I think so too xx
Ok, you've convinced me. Sure, I already kinda fancy travelling by train, but I definately have to do some train-ing when I get back to Ghana again.
Chale, medase paa for uploading 🙂👍
Yen dase 💕
I love your outfit and you look gorgeous 🤗❤️
Thanks lovely 🥰
Oh my!!! Looks so fun 🤩
It was 🥰
This video was insightful. Just wanna give a shout out to your videographer, besides the constant improvement i see in his work, I also noticed he was ready to fight for you when the man approached haha
He is a real one 🥰
Please do you have any information as when the TRAIN will be from Accra to kumasi and get to other parts of ghana?
There she is!
Hello ❤️
Irie ❤️🇯🇲🇬🇭
I m first today love u jasmine
❤️❤️❤️
Ehiiiiiii waooooo
I pray its kept in a good conditions
Please dont it be like Ghana plane🙏🙏
Hahah
Grey is lovely on you. We will rely on you to approach the government to advertise the existence of these trains to help cut down the number of vehicles on certain parts of Accra Also a plus for the environment!! Well done for yet another great posting.
🥰
So cool. I didn't realize Ghana had a train. I hear some talk about on TH-cam that they was going to built faster train in Ghana. Anyway I think this is so great because if a person don't drive. This could be a good way to do some sightseeing and to relax and enjoy the ride.
Absolutely xx
It’s still in the pipeline the faster trains. But these are for starters to test how Ghanaians are ready to move by train and I pray the govt stick to their words. But so far so good
More than journalist goodone
😌
That intro location doesn’t look like Ghana at all. 🔥🔥🔥
It Ghana 🇬🇭
It LOOKS like SOMEWHERE IN SPACE TO YOUUUU😃😎😛
The stations with platforms are so well set up x
hi Jasmine ur looking great as usual and i must agree with that the trains here in Sydney can be dirty though i live up on the Central Coast near Gosford and when i take the train to Sydney it can take me 2 hours and being a pensioner it only costs me $2.50 and i can travel all day on that ticket. Ashley Australia.
So cheapp
Hi jasmine hw are you.
From my experience from being around train tracks you get so use to the noise you learn to ignore the sound
Ohhh right
NICE SMOOTH TRAIN RIDE.This train service from Accra to Tema has been in existence for more than 20yrs BUT because of poor maintenance it has been out of use.I HOPE THEY MANAGE TO MAINTAIN IT
That, they didnt know that Ghana ever had trains. I wonder if theyve ever been anywhere where u can even see the old train tracks, haha. Yes, we had trains that brought all the foods from villages, to Accra, kantamanto, very early in the morning, the do their supplying and sales, and leave before the sun came up! Kantamanto was our special market purposely for straight foods from farms from far away places, never this kantamanto of today, for second hand clothes, second hand clothes was by tema station next go makola, behind lotteries, nicely enclosed and not really a big business like today, because we didnt really care much for secondhand clothes.
Ooh, more than 20yrs kwraa! I grew up in the 70s and we used to take it to Tema with my mum, at the crack of dawn, to go and do her fishing harbour business. It's just the usual lack of maintenance habit of everything else, and that makes things so difficult for consumers and the public! I just wish that we will learn that, without maintenance, nothing will ever last long. Today's generation, are the ones sadly commenting
I love those bloody trains.😆LOL. Excuse my English. Good ladie
Maintenance please
I love your dedication to your channel. Your consistency is unmatched. Keep it up. All your friends left ghana back to Europe. I hope u don't join them soon.?
Aw thanks Tracey. ❤️
Good job Ama👍, In my opinion the engineers should take a second at the platform, it should level up with the train so disable people can also get on board with less stress.
I agree🇬🇭🏖 Good observation🐽🇬🇭
I SECOND you. DISABLE PEOPLE should come FIRST in all THINGS like in ABROAD. GOD BLESS GHANA 🇬🇭 and AFRICA💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
I didn't know they had a train in Ghana. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Thanks for watching xx
Ghana has it train since 1874 and covers approximately 947 km,the reason why you don’t know that Ghana has a train is that we Ghanaians are cool people we are not talkertives we don’t brag on what we have.
I think 🤔 that one step people make from the train z a bit deep from the from floor or the train to the ground, I saw u people struggling a bit to step out
Thats cos this station is still under construction xx
Hey Jasmine, be safe!
U too x
