The Timeline of the African Union of Railways presents a chronological overview of major milestones and initiatives undertaken by the African Union of Railways (AUR) a specialized body of the African Union tasked with promoting railway integration across the continent railways. The timeline highlights early efforts such as the proposal for the Dakar–Port Sudan Railway in the 2010 segment, and key network expansion plans from 2007 outlining routes connecting Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It also documents strategic steps toward gauge standardization and digital transformation, including advocacy for triple-gauge tracks and the 2019 UIC African Rail Digital Summit, which advanced continental rail policy and interoperability.

This timeline is part of broader efforts to implement the African Integrated High‑Speed Railway Network, an Agenda 2063 flagship project aiming to interconnect African capitals and economic hubs by 2033 and beyond. It aligns with infrastructure initiatives driven by AUDA‑NEPAD, regional trade goals like the AfCFTA, and the AU’s long-term vision of a unified, efficient rail network supporting economic integration and development.
