| About Trains In Zimbabwe |
|
| Cecil John Rhodes originally planned a railway which would link Rhodesia {now called Zimbabwe}with Tanganyika {now called Tanzania}. He could not obtain British support for this project and after his death the line from Bulawayo was instead continued to Broken Hill and from there to the Congo so that Wankie coal could be railed to most mines in the region. The first train arrived in Bulawayo in the late 1890s |
