Source:[6]
The Transguinean Railway will be 622km long and of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) (standard gauge). It goes from iron ore mines in the south east and potentially bauxite mines in the north to a new port a Matakong.[7][8]
- Matakong - proposed Deep water port
- Morebaya Port Terminal: rail unloading terminal
- Forécariah: passing station
- Kelemou: intermediate station
- Madina Woula: intermediate station
- Kassa: intermediate station
- Oure-Kaba: intermediate station
- Tagagna: passing station
- Laya: intermediate station

- Soroforia: intermediate station
- Douako: passing station
- Nialinko: intermediate station
- Diankoya: passing station
- Kerouane: technical operations station
- Feredou (Simandou Mine, WCS, Simandou blocks 1 and 2): rail loading terminal
There will be a branch to:
- Simfer Mine (Rio Tinto, Simandou blocks 3 and 4): rail loading terminal
Proposed Guinea - Liberia Railway
(This line would be heavy duty Template:RailGauge gauge) This line is badly affected by the theft of rail spikes and plates which can cause derailments.
- Zogota iron ore [9]
- Template:Flagicon Simandou (north) - iron ore deposit near Diéké [3][4][10][11]
- Template:Flagicon Nimba - iron ore
- (Lamco Railway of Template:RailGauge gauge) being rehabilitated by ArcelorMittal).
- (Lamco Railway runs parallel to Guinea-Liberia Railway for a considerable distance)
- Template:Flagicon Buchanan - closest port
- Template:Flagicon Didia.[12] new port owned by BSG Resources.
Proposed Mali railway
- Template:Flagicon Kankan, Guinea.
- Template:Flagicon Template:Flagicon border.[13]
- Template:Flagicon Bamako, Mali.
Timeline
2025
2020
2014
- Conference [13]
2010
- Guinea and Liberia agree to build transborder railway for iron ore traffic.[4] </ref>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 Later rescinded.
