About Saudi Railway Company

The Saudi Railways Company (SAR) was originally founded in 2006 to construct, operate and manage a passenger and freight rail network linking the northern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) with both the eastern and central regions providing an integrated transport solution for passengers, minerals, petroleum and petrochemical products. This “North-South Railway”, which started operations in 2011, originates in the capital city of Riyadh and extends as far north as Al Haditha, near the border with Jordan.
