North of Mogadishu, this route ran inland, roughly paralleling the border with Ethiopia; a 100-kilometer spur ran to the Gulf of Aden at Berbera.

Much of the system is old and in disrepair, and many of its elements, in particular the railroad system, were built for a specialized purpose--such as transporting bananas to ports--instead of transporting goods and passengers nationwide.
Honduras's mountainous terrain and lack of alternative transportation modes make air travel one of the most important means of transportation.
