Train Station

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:17:25

Windhoek's beautiful old Cape Dutch-style train station dates from 1912, and was expanded in 1929 by the South African administration. Across the driveway from the entrance is the German steam locomotive Poor Old Joe, which was shipped to Swakopmund in 1899, and reassembled for the run to Windhoek. Upstairs is the small but worthwhile Trans-Namib Transport Museum.
