The San Francisco Chronicle recently published an article praising Al Boraq, the high-speed rail line in Morocco, describing it as a marvel of technology and engineering. The newspaper noted that Al Boraq is the first and only high-speed train in Africa, connecting Casablanca and Tangier.
According to the article, the train has significantly reduced travel time between the two cities, from nearly five hours to just over two hours. The service, operated by ONCF (Office National des Chemins de Fer), began commercial operations in November 2018.
The Chronicle highlighted the train's top speed of 320 km/h (200 mph) and its modern infrastructure, which includes dedicated tracks and advanced signaling systems. The article also mentioned the economic and tourism benefits for Morocco, positioning the country as a leader in African rail transport.
Al Boraq has been recognized internationally for its efficiency and has become a symbol of Morocco's modernization efforts. The San Francisco Chronicle's coverage underscores the global interest in this African rail achievement.
