Africa has come of age and should have all her major cities connected by rail for mass and effective transportation system.

Much development might not be recorded on the continent if goods and services cannot be mass transported from one point to another prompting the need for African Continental Rail proposal as contained in the picture below.

If it ever is a good idea, it might remain much more a theory than reality due to lack of will and financial constrain. If the will is there, this idea could be achievable if African countries devote 5percent of their annual budgets over a period of 7years to this project. Finances can be drawn by making savings from:

1. Reduced arms importation.
2. Reduction in foreign travels for medicals, tourism and education.
3. Reduction in import of foreign goods that can be sourced locally.
4. Donation from wealthy Africans for good of all.

Rail track represented by black dash line could be amended to suit regional needs but the primary focus of connecting all major African cities by rail should be retained.
