## Timeline
### 2020

* Work starts on Dapilon (port) - Santou (mine) railway) 1435mm gauge

### 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. 1435mm gauge. Later rescinded.
