The National Railways of Zimbabwe has suffered from a decade-long economic recession in the country and is seriously indebted. Due to neglect of maintenance and a lack of spare parts, only part of the railway network remains in good condition. Steam locomotives, although capable of speeds of just 25 to 30 kilometers per hour, have been reintroduced since 2004 as coal is in relatively good supply. The country has approved a plan to recapitalize its rail operations. (Photo/Agencies)
