EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Station at Matadi, an essential component of the new Congo railway that stretched from Matadi to Stanley Pool. The construction of this historical railway, which began in 1898, took an arduous nine years to complete. In the initial five-year period, only 25 miles of track were laid, but the perseverance and determination of the builders ultimately paid off. The Congo railway was a game-changer for the development of the region, enabling the seamless transportation of goods from one area to another. This significant infrastructure project proved crucial in breaking down the logistical barriers that had long hindered the growth and progress of the region. The railway's completion in July 1907 marked a turning point in the history of the Congo. The import and export of essential commodities, such as rubber, ivory, and timber, became more efficient, leading to increased trade and economic growth. This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases the Station at Matadi in its glory days. The station, with its distinctive architecture and bustling activity, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the people who made the Congo railway a reality. The railway's impact on the region was far-reaching, and its legacy continues to be felt in the 21st century. As we reflect on the history of the Congo railway, we are reminded of the power of human determination and the transformative effect of infrastructure on communities and economies.
