  • Northern line

    This line is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 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 38 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 38 in) gauge. Conversion to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) gauge has been proposed. 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.

  • Conakry - capital and port.
  • Mambia - bauxite mine
  • Kindia - provincial capital.
  • Kouyeya - waystation
  • Kolèntèn
  • Sougeta - waystation
  • Konkouré - several km north of railway
  • Mamou - provincial capital
  • Kégnégo
  • Diagouré - proposed junction
  • Dabola - junction and break of gauge
  • Bissikrima
  • Cisséla
  • Kouroussa - bridge over Niger River
  • Kankan terminus and provincial capital.
  • (possible extension)
  • Zogota
  • Southern branch

  • Dabola junction and break of gauge
  • Tougué bauxite
  • South Western line

    This line is 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 12 in) and parallels the Southern line.

  • Conakry - capital and port. Rail Map (red dots) Rail Map (gray lines)
  • Kindia bauxite mine.
  • 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. The link may be double track. This project has been delayed by a coup. In 2001, this line was estimated to cost $3,000m. The line includes 21 km of tunnels which might mean one tunnel 21 km long, or 21 tunnels each 1 km long.

    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 12 in) gauge)

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

  • Kankan, Guinea.
  • border.
  • Bamako, Mali.
  • 2014

  • Conference
  • 2010

  • Guinea and Liberia agree to build transborder railway for iron ore traffic. 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.
