North Trans-Guinean Railways (Under construction)

This 135 km long Standard Gauge railway connects bauxite mines at Boffa with a new port at Boké.[1] Dapilon-Santou

Northern line

This line is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge and carries about 12 million tonnes per annum.

• Port Kamsar - port
• Boké
• Sangarédi - bauxite mine

Central line

This line is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge and heads off in a northwestern direction.

• Conakry - capital and port.
• Dubréka
• Fria - bauxite mine

Central Trans-Guinean Railway

This line is 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge. Conversion to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge has been proposed.[2] 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.[3]

South Trans-Guinean Railways (Proposed)

The heavy duty Transguinean Railways is about 670 km long and would be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge. It goes from iron ore mines in the south east near Simandou and bauxite mines in the north to a new port at Matakong.[7] The link may be double track.[8] This project has been delayed by a coup.[9] In 2001, this line was estimated to cost $3,000m.[10] The line includes 21 km of tunnels which might mean one tunnel 21 km long, or 21 tunnels each 1 km long.[11]

Tougué Branch

• Marela - possible junction to Central line
• Diagouré - junction with Central line
• Pontiola - bauxite
• Tougué - branch terminus - bauxite

Proposed Guinea - Liberia Railway

(This line would be heavy duty 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge)

• Zogota iron ore [12]
• Simandou (north) - iron ore deposit near Diéké [4][5][13][14]
  • Nimba - iron ore
  • (Lamco Railway of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge) being rehabilitated by ArcelorMittal).
  • (Lamco Railway runs parallel to Guinea-Liberia Railway for a considerable distance)
  • Buchanan - closest port
• Didia.[15] new port owned by BSG Resources.

Proposed Mali railway

• Kankan, Guinea.
• border.[16]
• Bamako, Mali.

Timeline

2020

• Work starts on Dapilon (port) - Santou (mine) railway) 1435mm gauge

2014

• Conference [16]

2010

• Guinea and Liberia agree to build transborder railway for iron ore traffic.[5] This railway would be shorter and cheaper than a railway entirely within Guinea territory. As part of the deal, the narrow gauge Trans-Guinean railway would be renovated. 1435mm gauge. Later rescinded.
