Central Trans-Guinean Railway

This line is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 38 in) gauge. Conversion to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) gauge has been proposed.[1] Rejuvenation of this line will be paid for by allow Simandou North iron ore to be exported to a more close by port in Liberia.[2]

South Trans-Guinean Railways (Proposed)

The heavy duty Transguinean Railways is about 670 km long and would be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) standard gauge. It goes from iron ore mines in the south east and bauxite mines in the north to a new port at Matakong.[6] The link may be double track.[7] This project has been delayed by a coup.[8] In 2001, this line was estimated to cost $3,000m.[9] The line includes 21 km of tunnels which might mean one tunnel 21 km long, or 21 tunnels each 1 km long.[10]
