Rusted Dreams: $165M Kojokrom-Takoradi railway project left to decay

The 15-kilometre suburban railway had terminals at Kojokrom, Sekondi, and Takoradi, with four stations in Sekondi Prisons, Ketan, Butuah, and Essaman, all within the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis. The project, which cost the state $165 million, was to enhance the movement of goods and passengers in the area. The people in the metropolis were jubilant, hopeful, and full of joy. Today, The Fourth Estate can report that the Kojokrom train station is buried in an eerie silence—no train whistles, no passenger chatter, and no wheel clatter. The shine of the metal mesh seat is dampened by rust. The silver boarding gates are also losing their lustre. Weeds are creeping over the roof of the building. In this quiet decay, spiders have woven intricate cobwebs.
