Itakpe Warri Rail: Test Run Of Trains Commence At Agbor


This is the Uromi Train Station heading towards Agbor. All is now set for the official kick-off of the Itakpe Warri Rail. The train did a test run today to see the effectiveness and also to see how well the contractors have faired.



It may be recalled that the 327km Standard-Gauge Itakpe Warri Rail links Itakpe in Kogi State To Ajaokuta and then to Warri, Delta State (Itakpe to Ajaokuta, 50KM; Ajaokuta to Warri, 277KM).



The Itakpe Warri Rail Line was started by President Babangida circa 1987, it was planned as a freight-only Rail, serving the Iron Ore / Steel belt between Aladja and Ajaokuta. It is now being reconfigured as a PASSENGER + Freight Rail, to maximize usefulness.

Do You Know What The White Or Black Stripes On Your Earpiece Jack do ?

Do you know what the white or black stripes on your headphones or earpiece jack do ? These mostly are on the jack that enter into your smartphone or music devices. Mostly they are white or dark rings that might look like something meant for decoration. They serve the purpose of protecting the wire that transmits sound to the headphones or earpiece. They are usually two to three rings, one for the left headphone/earpiece and the other for the right and the last is neutral. In order words, those stripes act as insulators, each one of the white or black band is a contact for a certain wire. One will be left speaker, one will be right speaker, one will be the microphone, and one will be the ground wire. The stripes keep the wires insulated from one another. http://www.infinix.club/ng/forum/687/967946
