Under construction

• There are plans for an iron ore railway belonging to Sundance Resources, isolated from existing railways, going from mine(s) around Mbalam to a port at Lolabé. This line would be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 ¹⁄₂ in) gauge.^[4][5] 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 would also most likely be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 ¹⁄₂ in) gauge, but it might link with the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 ³⁄₈ in) Camrail system. Contracts for construction signed in June 2014.
