context_page_description: Egyptian National Railways is the national railway of Egypt and managed by the parastatal Egyptian Railway Authority.
context_section_description: There is a modest network of narrow gauge railways at Kurna (the west Nile bank opposite Luxor). This has a gauge of approximately 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge and is used for transporting sugar cane. A smaller network of the same gauge and for the same purpose exists on the east bank, around the southern outskirts of Luxor.
  Haulage is by diesel locomotive. Rolling stock includes rakes of bogie bolsters, typically seen loaded high up with sugar cane crop.
