SRO provides the following services:
- Passenger transportation between Riyadh and Dammam, through Al-Ahsa and Abqaiq.
- Cargo service between Riyadh and Dammam, through Al-Kharj, Al-Ahsa, Abqaiq, Haradh and Al-Tawdhihiyah.
The three major Passenger Terminals, completed in 1981, in Riyadh, Dammam and Hufof, are considered among the most prominent utilities and the largest construction projects of SRO. They reflected a quality change in passenger services as they included several improved utilities and services such as passengers' lounges, postal offices, information offices, restaurants, parking lots as well as crew housing.
They are also considered urban landmarks with their architectural design which mixed traditional Islamic style with architectural styles of Central and Eastern Arabia.
In addition to these major terminals, there are stations in Abqaiq for passengers and in Haradh, Al-Tawdhihiyah and Al-Kharj for cargo.
SRO utilities include the Dry Port in Riyadh which is a rail/customs station that was established to give importers in the Riyadh Region, and the regions close to it, the privilege of loading their goods imported through King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam, on the Cargo train directly to clear them through customs in the Dry Port utilities in Riyadh. This service started officially in May 1981. |
