The Government of Sierra Leone, through the Ministry of Transport and Aviation, has announced plans to reintroduce commercial train services in the country.

The announcement was made by Minister Alhaji Fanday Turay during the Civic Day series in the United States on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.

“His Excellency has a vision to also have a train in Sierra Leone. To accomplish that, we have already established an agency to conduct research.
