Watch stunning Etihad Rail video of freight train travelling across UAE – The National

A video released by Etihad Rail shows a freight train travelling across the UAE through some of the country’s most striking scenery.

The footage underlines the vast scale of the network with the train passing through tunnels and bridges against the backdrop of the country’s mountains, cities and desert.

The freight network links all emirates, connects seven logistics centres and has been operational since February. Freight trains can travel at speeds of up to 120km per hour. Its fleet of 1,082 wagons can carry everything from shipping containers to raw steel.
