Railways which are considered being the most effective mode of transport for moving bulk cargo over long distances is convenient for containing traffic between ports and capitals, carry less than one percent of passenger traffic alongside with less than two percent of freight movement in the country’s transport economy. As they are much complex transportation mode, the rehabilitation and maintenance of existing stock, construction of new lines, reliability, and efficiency services need much attention. Yet the sustainable development objective becomes an issue. Using field, interpretative, and processed data sources, this paper shows the historical background of the railway and evaluates the state of its existing infrastructure system in Benin. The key sustainability challenges specific to railway development have been classified. Based on these findings and through the adoption and implementation of strategies, the study presents an innovative solution to revitalize Benin railway system toward overcoming the problems.
