Lamco Railway (3S) The
Lamco railway was originally built to take
iron ore from Mount Nimba -
Yekepa Train station, near the Guinean border, and
Tokadeh to the port of
Buchanan, for export. It fell into disuse and was damaged during the civil war, but was rebuilt by
Arcelor Mittal from Tokadeh to the coast and returned to service in 2011. 51% of BSGR is now owned by
Vale. This line parallels the Lamco Railway for a considerable distance. • In 2022 a short extension across the border into Guinea to serve iron ore deposits there was proposed. This is being promoted by High Power Exploration which has an agreement with the Guinean government to develop the Nimba Iron Ore Project. Its Liberian subsidiary Ivanhoe Liberia intends to agree shared access to the railway line between Buchanan and Tokadeh, rebuild a line from there to Yekepa abandoned in 1992 and build a new line 2–3 km from Yekepa to the border. This would join a short section of new railway within Guinea to reach the mine. == Accidents ==
