Tsumeb railway station

Tsumeb railway station

Tsumeb is a mining town in northeastern Namibia.

Transport

It is served by a mostly freight railway. With the extension of the railway towards the Angolan border in 2007, the Tsumeb station finds itself on a dead end, with a new bypass formed by a Triangle provided direct access from the capital to the extended line.

Tsumeb has a plant for the manufacture of concrete sleepers.
