A diesel railcar built by MAN of Germany for metre-gauge lines of the ONCF de Guinée, consisting of engine car A with 2nd class seats, trailer B with 1st class reclining seats and dining room, and engine car C with 2nd class seating. Similar trains were also delivered to Brazil.
Officially, Guinea has 1,086 km of railways of which 279 km are standard gauge (1,435 mm) and 807 km are metre-gauge, including 662 km of common carrier service from Kankan to Conakry. However, one website states, "Le réseau ferroviaire de la Guinée est en très mauvais état" (the railway network of Guinea is in very bad state) - it sounds like a Steven Joyce type is in charge there too.
