Under construction
There are plans for an iron ore railway belonging to Sundance Resources, isolated from existing railways, going from around Mbalam to a port at Kribi . This line will be gauge. 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 gauge, but later on it links with the existing 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 . The line is said to be mostly double track. Kribi – port (0 km) (junction) (cross border extension to other mines) at Nabeba in Congo Brazzaville. 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) (border) Nabeba, Congo – mine (70 km) Avima, Congo
Proposed or upgrade
