    Sri Lanka in 60 mln dlr train deal with China​


    Sri Lanka plans to buy 60 million US dollars worth of locomotives and passenger coaches from China to modernise its Victorian-era network.

    The state-owned railway says it'll buy 100 carriages and 15 diesel-powered locomotives.

    China's Exxim Bank will fund the purchases with a lending agreement due to be signed between Colombo and Beijing.

    A railway official says the nation's rolling stock is in desperate need of modernisation.

    Delivery of the locomotives and coaches is expected to start in August.
