The Lagos State Blue Line Express Train is the first standard gauge rail line in West Africa.

Standard gauge rail lines are wider than narrow gauge rail lines, which allows them to carry heavier loads and travel at higher speeds. The Blue Line is able to travel at speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour. The use of standard gauge track is a significant step forward for rail transportation in West Africa.
