Under construction

• There are plans for an iron ore railway belonging to Sundance Resources, isolated from existing railways, going from mine(s) around Mbalam to a port at Kribi . This line would be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge.[4][5] This line would also extend a short distance into the Republic of Congo. In September, 2011, a deal was struck with Legend Resources, also of Australia, to share railway and port infrastructure for another iron ore mine. This line would also most likely be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge, but it might link with the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) Camrail system. Contracts for construction were signed in June 2014. Since the tonnage to be carried on this line is about 35MTpa, it needs powerful locomotives, which implies 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)
• Kribi – port (0 km)
• (junction) (cross border extension to other mines)
• Mbalam – mine (510 km)

---

• Kribi
• 130 km link for alumina traffic.
• Edéa – junction to Kribi.

---

• (junction) (0 km)
• (border)
• Nabeba, Congo – mine (70 km)
• Avima, Congo

• In 2002, there were plans to extend a railway line from Kribi via Mbalmayo to Bangui in the Central African Republic.[6]
• In September 2009, a Korean proposal surfaced to upgrade and duplicate the national railway system.[7]
• In November 2013, Cameroon and China signed an agreement to build a high-speed standard gauge railway from Douala (port) to Yaoundé[8]
