Maputo, MZ: The Maputo Railway Station

This station is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful stations, and with its beautiful architecture, I can agree to that.




It was built 1916 but the architect wasn't Gustave Eiffel (Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty) as I heard when coming to Maputo. That station has been featured in films such as Blood Diamond




Mocambique has a fragmented railroad system with three lines that are separated from each other: the Nacala railroad (north), the Beira railroad (mid) and the Maputo railroad (south).




CFM stands for Caminhos de Ferro de Mocambique, the iron roads of Mocambique. The URL of CFM is: http://www.cfm.co.mz/ The web page is only in portugese.
