The Abuja-Kaduna rail service is set to resume operations on Monday, November 28, 2022.

A source within the Idu rail station disclosed this to reporters in Abuja on Thursday.
Earlier reports had it that terrorists attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28, 2022, kidnapping 168 passengers and killing eight others.
According to the source, some contractors were at the Idu rail station to install the tracker and cameras.
“They couldn’t install the cameras but they installed the trackers on LOKO 2809 and on DMU 003.
“The Managing Director, Nigeria Railway Corporation, Fidet Okhiria, is seriously monitoring it from Lagos.
“We are proposing to start running by next week Monday,” the source had said.
