The Tokar - Trinkitat Light Railway was built in 1921/1922 at 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) narrow gauge and was 29 km long,[16] primarily used for the export of the cotton crop from Tokar. It used ex-War Department Light Railways rolling stock and Simplex locomotives. It was absorbed by Sudan Railways in 1933 and closed in 1952.[17]
