World Rail
There's a nine mile subway line
being constructed in Santo Domingo, D.R., as described in the NY Times article. Seems like a pretty forward looking investment for relatively poor nation, but one that due to immigration to the US seems to have a predilection for a subway line. It's an interesting contrast, although it can't quite be directly compared to, the
problems the the Congo national railway system is having, at least in monetary terms. At least $470M to build the Santo Domingo subway at 9 miles. Then think about the needs of at least $600M to repair possibly 11,500 miles of the Congolese SNCC (whatever 'repair' means) along with locomotives and such...

It will probably be finished before New York's Second Avenue Subway is.
