The Sousse–Kairouan Decauville railway was a {{convert|64|km|abbr=on}} long {{track gauge|600 mm}} gauge Decauville military railway from Sousse to Kairouan in Tunisia. It operated from 1882 to 1896, before it was re-gauged to {{track gauge|1000 mm}}.

History

The French army occupied Kairouan in 1881. Pioneers then built the narrow gauge railway from Sousse on the coast to the former capital Kairouan within 3½ months.[1][2] It ran mainly on an old Roman road.[3]

The open-sided carriages arrived before 1 January 1882 in Sousse.[4] The first train transported wounded soldieres on 3 February 1882 from Kairouan to Sousse. The waggons were initially drawn by horses and later by steam locomotives. The railway was regauged from {{track gauge|600 mm}} to {{track gauge|1000 mm}} gauge in 1896.[1]
