- Nkongsamba (W) – railhead in northwest - rehabilitate
- Mbanga (W) – junction in west
- Bonabéri (W) – port in west
- Douala – river port - cement works - 62km
- Edéa – river crossing Sanaga River ; future junction to ocean port Kribi (114km)
- Mésondo

Rehabilitate
- Nanga Eboko
- Bélabo – ballast quarry and concrete sleeper plant[5]
- Ngaoundal
- Ngaoundéré – bauxite – railhead
- Ngoumen
- Otélé – junction for Mbalmayo
Under construction
- There are plans for an iron ore railway belonging to Sundance Resources, isolated from existing railways, going from Template:Not a typo around Mbalam to a port at Kribi . This line will be Template:RailGauge gauge.[6][7] 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 will be Template:RailGauge gauge, but later on it links with the existingTemplate:RailGauge 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 Template:RailGauge. The line is said to be mostly double track. [8]
The line will be built by the Portuguese company Mota-Engil
- Template:Flagicon Kribi – port (0 km)
- (junction) (cross border extension to other mines) at Nabeba in Template:Flagicon Congo Brazzaville.
- Template:Flagicon Mbalam – mine (510 km)
- Kribi - ocean port
- 130 km link for alumina traffic in 1000mm gauge or dual gauge (1435mm + 1000mm)
- Edéa – junction to Kribi.
- (junction) (0 km)
- Template:Flagicon Template:Flagicon (border)
- Template:Flagicon Nabeba, Congo – iron ore mine (70 km)

Proposed or upgrade
- In 2002, there were plans to extend a railway line from Kribi via Mbalmayo to Bangui in the Central African Republic.[9]
- In September 2009, a Korean proposal surfaced to upgrade and duplicate the national railway system.[10]
- In November 2013, Cameroon and China signed an agreement to build a high-speed standard gauge railway from Douala (port) to Yaoundé[11]
- (northwards)
- Ngaoundéré
- Maroua for timber traffic[12]
- Template:Flagicon Ngaoundéré, Cameroon – northern railhead[13] 0km
- Template:Flagicon Template:Flagicon border
- Template:Flagicon N'Djamena – capital of Chad 1400km
- These rail routes are
- Edéa – proposed junction and possible break of gauge
- Kribi – deep water ocean port and possible break of gauge
- Douala – shallow river port
- Limbe
- Douala
- Ngaoundéré[14]
Break of gauge train
A passenger service across the standard gauge/metre gauge break of gauge near Kribi can be provided using the Swiss technology of the GoldenPass Express. This connects the mine at Mbalam with Douala port and Yaoundé the national capital. See Stadler Rail.
