Rail transport in Madagascar

There are two unconnected systems having a total length of 855 km (531 mi), as of 2023, all metre gauge, 1,000 mm (39+3⁄8 in).

Very occasionally, there are special chartered trips on restored Micheline railcars for tourists.

The southern line has a regular daily passenger train, which provides a slow but picturesque alternative to the recently rehabilitated road in the region.

[2] A passenger service between Soarano (Antananarivo main station) and Amaronakona (18°55'49.9"S 47°34'44.8"E, on the TCE line) was due to commence in August 2023.

[3] Initial operation was subsequently delayed until 'early 2024' in an announcement on 7 December 2023[4]
