The Sahel Train is an electrified, metre gauge railway and suburban rail line with trains serving Sousse and Mahdia, with a spur to Monastir, in Tunisia.{{cite web|url=http://www.sncft.com.tn/fr/banlieue_sahel/presentation.html|title=Banlieue de Sahel|publisher=Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Tunisiens|accessdate=2 April 2015}} The {{convert|73|km|mi}} line has overhead electrification at 25 kV, 50 Hz.
