Caminhos de ferro de Luanda (CFL) has begun offering goods transport between Luanda and Dondo (190km). Intermediate localities served include Viana (Luanda), Catete and Maria Teresa (Bengo), Zenza do Itombe and Cassualala (Kwanza Norte). A tariff of “about AKZ 80.436” is quoted for moving 44 tons. CFL operations head Aurélio Russo says the twice-weekly service offered follows successful testing of the line. It is expected that the remainder of the route to Malanje will be reopened by December 2010. The railway has not operated since the beginning of the civil war.
