YANGON -- Myanma Railways announced Friday that bidding has opened for train cars for upgrades to the railway linking the nation's two largest cities of Yangon and Mandalay.
The state-owned railway network operator seeks to acquire 24 carriages. The country's rail network is not electrified, so Myanma Railways wants diesel-electric-type units. Bidding will close in March 2017, with a decision coming later that year.
