Congo Railways - Compagnie des Grands Lacs Kongolo-Kindu - a freight train
From Wikipedia:
The Great lakes Line (second section): Kindu (Lualaba River port) - Kibombo – Kongolo – Kabalo (Lualaba River port and junction with Katanga line) - Nyunzu – Niemba – Kalemie (the port on Lake Tanganika), 1,067 mm.
This line was 1,000 mm gauge until 1955, when the gauge was changed for the connection with the Katanga line in 1956. North of Kongolo, the Lualaba is unnavigable due to the rapids named Portes D'Enfer ('Gates of Hell'). As of 2006, the track between Kalemie and Niemba is described as 'very degraded'. Boats to Moba and Kalundu-Uvira on Lake Tanganyika used to connect with trains at Kalemie. In 1917, a train ferry was introduced on the lake operating from Kalemie, but is long gone.
