One of the goals of the [[Economic Community of West African States]] (ECOWAS) is the development of an integrated [[railroad]] network.

Aims include the extension of railways in member countries, the interconnection of previously isolated railways and the standardisation of gauge, brakes, couplings, and other parameters.

== Proposed lines ==
The first line would connect the cities and ports of [[Lagos]], [[Cotonou]], [[Lomé]] and [[Accra]] and would allow the largest container ships to focus on a smaller number of large ports, while efficiently serving a larger [[hinterland]].  This line connects {{RailGauge|3ft6in|lk=on}} gauge and {{RailGauge|1000mm|allk=on}} systems, which would require four rail [[dual gauge]], which can also provide [[standard gauge]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.railwaysafrica.com/2009/10/proposed-ecowas-railway/ |title=PROPOSED ECOWAS RAILWAY &#124; Railways Africa |website=www.railwaysafrica.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091024131043/http://www.railwaysafrica.com/2009/10/proposed-ecowas-railway/ |archive-date=2009-10-24}} </ref>
