The Timeline of African Union of Railways includes the dates of the inauguration of railway lines throughout the nations of the African Union. To date, much railway expansion has been concentrated in Central Africa.
According to Railway Gazette International of November 2007, East Africa (TZ, KE, ET and UG) are proposing lines aplenty. [1]
Kasese, Uganda to 
Kisangani, DRCongo Gulu to 
Nimule and Juba in Sudan Pakwach, Uganda to Juba and Wau in Sudan 
Garissa, Kenya to 
Addis Abeba in Ethiopia Lamu to Garissa and Juba again Masaka, Uganda to 
Biharamulo, Tanzania Another seven (eight?) routes include:
Mbamba Bay on Lake Nyasa to Ligunga via Mchuchuma coal mines. Ligunga to Mlimba Dar-es-Salaam to port of Mtwara Tunduma on TZ-ZM border via Sumbawanga and Mpanda to Kigoma Uvinza to 
Bujumbura, in Burundi Bagamoyo to Kidomole Isaka Dry Port to 
Kigali in Rwanda Triple gauge for the three main gauges in Africa are a practible solution for mixed gauge tracks.
Narrow 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge and Metre 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge are too similar (67mm) to allow third rail dual gauge. Four rails must be used, which creates a third gauge, which may as well be 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) gauge.
