There is no railway in the Central African Republic; however, a project has existed since the turn of the century: a railway line that should extend the Trans-Camerounais to Bangui, as well as a connection of the Sudanese railway with Birao in the north of the country. Unfortunately the realization of these lines has become over time more and more improbable.
