Tropical cyclone Jude halts Mozambique coal railway, cuts off highway
Mozambique’s main rail line for its top export of coal halted operations this week because of a tropical cyclone that also cut off a national highway. Nacala Logistics, which operates the railway linking coal mines in the central Tete province to the port of Nacala, said it paused trains on March 10, when Tropical Cyclone Jude made landfall in the southeast African nation, bringing torrential rainfall and damaging winds. Technical teams were on site to clear debris from the tracks, it said in a statement.
