2.4 Lesotho Railway Assessment
Home

Lesotho does not own any railway line in-country. The only railway line in Lesotho is the Maseru branch line, which connects the capital city Maseru to the railway network of South Africa via the Bloemfontein–Bethlehem line. The final 1.6 kilometres (1.0 mi) of this line, which opened on 18 December 1905, lies within the borders of Lesotho, running from the border bridge on the Mohokare River through the northern industrial district of Maseru to that city's station, the only railway station in the country.

There have been plans of building new railways to connect Lesotho to Durban and Port Elizabeth which have not been actualised or put in motion.
