Text Appearing Before Image:
... the coach would strike a stump or runover an ant heap, and overturn. A delay would occur to collect the scattered luggage and mail bags, set the coach up again, and adjust the tangled harness. At length, the journey accomplished, the passengers would alight at their destinations parched, grimy, and weary, to find rest and refreshment in the comparative luxury of town life. But bit by bit wagon transport and coaches gave way before the advancing railways. As far back as January 23rd, 1890, Mr. Cecil Rhodes had entered upon his first railway agreement with the Cape, in which he undertook to construct a line of 127 miles from Kimberley to Vryburg.

The concession for the construction of the line, with pier, docks and other facilities at Beira, was acquired by the Beira Junction Railway Company, which owned the line from Beira to Fontesvilla, and the Beira Railway Company, which owned the line from Fontesvilla to Umtali, the most eastern town in Southern Rhodesia. A two-foot gauge railway was first laid, and both companies were established under the auspices of the British South Africa Company. The next step was the laying of a broad gauge railway from Umtali to Salisbury ...
