HISTORYZambia Railways Limited operated and still operates a

network of 1062 km of 1067mm gauge, single track of which

848km is the mainline and 214 km is on branch lines or spurs

In 2001, two years before the concession ZRL moved 1.98

million tonnes of traffic. Today that is 667,000 tonnes

ZRL had and has a total of 37 locomotives (12 GT ,17 U20C

and 8 U15C) and has a total of 2201 wagons of various types.

ZRL own passenger coaches have become dilapidated and out

of service during the concession. Therefore using 28passenger coaches belonging to Railway Systems of Zambia

(RSZ).

Track ConditionMainline Track

The mainline extends from Victoria Falls Bridge in the South to Nkana

Kitwe

The weight of rails on the mainline is

91lb per yard (606km)

90lb per yard (101km)80lb per yard (141km), these need replacing with 91lb/yard

530 km of the mainline is on concrete sleepers & 318 km on wooden

sleepers

The depth of ballast on mainline varies between 50mm and 160mm

instead of the required depth of 250mm to 300mm.


5/52

Track Condition

Wooden sleepers in EXTREME poor condition


6/52

Track Condition

Missing rail fastenings on consecutive sleepers on the mainlinenear Kabwe and Monze railway stations, making the railway line

unsafe.


7/52

Track Condition

The railway line is overgrown with weeds in manysections, thus even maintenance of the line difficult

to carry out.


8/52

Track Condition

If repairs were made, the plan was to interlace 1concrete sleeper in 4 wooden sleepers and claim tohave upgraded the railway line

NEXT STEPS Track Rehabilitation is needed in many parts of the existing lines

New Second Track construction from Chingola to Livingstone is

therefore needed to make the rail come to 21st Century standards

New Stations are needed for human occupation

To achieve these goals

To achieve this goal a new business model has been agreed withthe management team.

The Vision

To have an effective and efficient railwaysnetwork that is extremely profitable as a core

The New ZR Business Model

BUSINESS OUTLINE CHARACTERISTICS

It is proposed herein that the business meets the expectations of the

Zambian people. Among these outcomes are:

To reconstruct the entire business to be profitable, self sustaining and

become a major contributor to the exchequer accounts;

To become a major employer that creates apprenticeship jobs of around

10,000 during the reconstruction phases, and which reduce during full

operation period to 3000 5000 pensionable jobs. In addition, there will bearound 3,000 4,000 jobs to be created in the supply chain as ZR intends

to source 75% - 80% of parts, components and services from businesses in

Zambia. ZR vision on employment is to maximise human capacity for

maximum productivity that will make it a flag ship of the Nation;

To build a solid partnership with satellite businesses that will enhance

further ZR core business and profit margins.

Freight Cost Centre

Current - Traditional business of a railway company that needs

modernisation through intelligent marketing and management

Traditional cargo such as copper ore and its products; coal; lime;

maize; sugar; etc

The future for ZR is to look for new cargo from none traditional

routes: uranium ore; manganese ore; nickel; gold; rare metals; agro

products; etc

TARGET: To move from meagre tonnage to 1.5 million tonnes and

beyond


25/52

Passenger Cost Centre

Traditional business of a railway company that needs

modernisation through intelligent marketing and management

Traditional passenger business that has deteriorated in quality of

service

The future for ZR is to look for new and modern coaches that

attract the business community, offer comfort and reliability for

repeat business

Inter-Mine Cost Centre

Traditional business for Zambia Railways that generated a lot of

revenue prior to the concession. During the concession, this

business was killed completely

Rehabilitation and modernisation needed in many places to

enable bring back the business from the roads to ZR

Kabwe The aim is to create the biggest engineering and design

technology centre that develops products from first principles:

- Wagons

- Coaches

- Locomotives

- spares and components for use in the assemblies

This is new cost centre that involves track and stations plus all the

fixed assets

The vision- To construct a second line track along the existing one

To make all the dilapidated stations good and vibrant places by

building Malls, Pubs, Restaurants & Cafs, shops; etc..

To electrify the mainline in Phase I construction

Use of $120 million. Not enough so proposal to float 48% to
