Of course, despite the difficulties in constructing the Cabinda railway, it is not impossible for East Africa, given the extensive experience accumulated during the construction of the Hessen Railway. Therefore, the feasibility of this tropical rainforest railway crossing the Congo River is quite high.
The only drawback is that Cabinda lacks a direct railway to Luanda. The starting point of the western coastal railway is right across from Cabinda, at the town of Soyo on the southern bank of the Congo River mouth, severing the direct connection between Cabinda and the southern cities of Angola.
However, at present, Cabinda does not have the confidence that Luanda City enjoys, and extending the Kinshasa railway to Cabinda City would be considered a blessing.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this idea from the Cabinda City government, but once the oil resources of Cabinda are developed, Cabinda will fully have the potential to become one of the strongest cities in East Africa.
