What families should know

The published schedule identifies TE185 departing Douala at 06:30 daily and TE186 departing Yaoundé at 17:00 daily, with five short stops. The official booking page says passenger tickets are sold at CAMRAIL station counters and online. The official fare page was modified 6 August 2026 and its fare image is labeled “Grille tarifaire voyageurs du Train Express — Août 2026” and “LUNDI À DIMANCHE.” This is an ordinary current full-size passenger service, not a dedicated tourist or heritage excursion.
