This print showcases the awe-inspiring TAZARA railway, a remarkable feat of engineering constructed by the Peoples Republic of China in the 1960s. The railway traverses through breathtaking landscapes, connecting Tanzania's bustling main seaport at Dar-es-Salaam with Kapiri Mposhi in Northern Zambia's copper belt. It has become an essential transportation link for both countries. In this image, we witness a vibrant crowd gathered at an African railway station along the TAZARA route. The atmosphere is filled with energy and anticipation as people from diverse backgrounds come together to embark on their journey or bid farewell to loved ones.
