EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Station at Abbabis in Namibia, circa 1905. The image transports us back in time to an era of adventure and exploration, as the railway revolutionized transportation in Africa. The station building, with its distinctive red roof and whitewashed walls, stands proudly in the background, serving as a beacon for travelers and a symbol of progress. Trains, the lifeblood of the railway system, are seen pulling into the station, their steam engines billowing smoke into the air. Passengers disembark, their luggage in tow, ready to begin their journeys across the vast African continent. Native workers, dressed in colorful attire, can be seen loading and unloading goods from the trains, while others go about their daily tasks around the station. The Station at Abbabis was an essential stop on the railway line that connected the port of Walvis Bay to the capital city of Windhoek, and beyond to other parts of the continent. The railway played a crucial role in the development of Namibia, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and ideas, and contributing to the growth of trade and commerce. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of transportation in Namibia and Africa as a whole, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The station at Abbabis, with its hustle and bustle, stands as a reminder of the transformative impact of the railway on the continent and its people.
