AfricaRail
AfricaRail is a project to link the railway systems of Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Niger, Benin and Togo.[1] [2] These are all 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge.
A future stage is proposed to link Mali, Senegal, which are also 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) gauge; Nigeria and Ghana have a different narrow gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) but are converting to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in).
