With 20 thousands km of railway network, South Africa is very far away from any other African country most of its cities are connected to the railway. However from this 20 thousands Km of railway network only half is active.

Algeria has almost 5000 km of railway only 3 973 kilometers are in active use. Probably the second after South Africa.
The railway network is concentrated in the north, therefore more the 80% of the country surface is not covered. A budget of 18 billion dollar has been approved to the SNTF (governmental company) to modernize and build more lines mainly around the cities. new lines are under costruction toward the south of the country.

some pics of Algerian railway
