is a ghost station in the silence of the democratic republic of congo. there's been no train service for five months but now it's running again but the train left lubumbashi the second largest city five days ago. no one knows when it will arrive

. but the train everyone is waiting for has a surprising name holme del or the swallow the. news of the swallows arrival spreads like wildfire via the bush telegraph all word of mouth. it's the cheapest rail service in the d.r. congo like a local bus it stops a virtually every station and draws huge crowds. half of them a street vendors a day every stop even in the remotest villages the station becomes an instant market. i am very different.

i don't know if that is the idea of home program yet i wrote that there are several . there. but for the time good. bye. but there's not much time for selling. the train is already packed. passengers clamber for remaining seats. clement has been riding this train for twenty years. he knows what to expect. from c. but he got there i think because the self emphasizing said this is deducted it was

just done. he. said to simulate let's. say by young today. or not so much did you do your day for these people for the business. but this i say he said so this it's a sonic as i said if. the people cram into whatever space they can find nearly two thousand people all together three times the officially permitted capacity. for those who want to able to find a place or who can't afford a ticket there's always the route. and it is really quite open about what it is and he said that it is a simple idea to well let's you got up. but only did what you said i was

upset about. was. located in the heart of the continent the democratic republic of congo is the largest country in sub-saharan africa. the swallow crosses half the country from lubumbashi to eladio and is the only link between remote villages and the outside world. the swallow has been around for more than fifty years. the old engine was bought second hand in south africa. a relay of ten drivers is needed to cover the one thousand six hundred kilometer journey. but. the driver is sixty three years old

mr malone go has one of the hardest parts of the trip. one hundred twenty kilometers of trouble saying about the red. dot we've never done that it said this i got so remember. that is on the subject that i thought about said you're already a physical that's why the trip was a severance not that it's probably. mr malone go is the monster on board and supplements his income by allowing ten passengers to travel in the driver's cabin. it's as close as he gets to first class on the train. but. back in second class the challenge is to avoid stepping on someone as you try and move around the carriage. it's something clear

can't get used to. play out but that was said it's own plus in the c c said it was said all pervasive throughout the. if this sends us the second goal did you not think with this thing to see a lot of big this was just one bus it will bump him up there on the sunday before they put up with the leader who. will be no. passengers take as much luggage as they can. commit so they clearly so put it on the media. on a cd expose it equally falsify luck. if you. look at the files onto. supposed to play alone as of old to see the film of the. extraordinary things sometimes happen. my

cinema is like mice and i know you. don't want to see what you want to do and i didn't want those again that was there and then you might find some. symbols and some subtle. but. it does. are you were after me and telling them how it was that you took. the train can also be a death trap. they fought to be bloody successful foot because i sit at sup if i did not think of it if it were such gus nossal what our gun laws deal to force him up to help us in my life the. last year of the snake his name and several passengers.

and those in third class risked their lives up here on the route. they can easily get knocked off the moving train. and now when i come to know before going up with. her that is out of them was. the smoke boy with. his fellow travelers up on third class have to remain alert a lapse in attention could be fatal. but they believe. good to see. the danger comes not just from above but also from the sun. even if the moderate

speed of thirty kilometers an hour a tree branch can come like a machete. is everywhere all over the symbols are there's a lot of other. so forth your best reporters say. since. these are some of the remotest areas of the d.r. congo. as dawn breaks free men are preparing for a long journey. they're traveling salesman training in kosov

a flower and home oil in the villages they work for osama. bin laden on a mobile version flourish with no the only year what it was you were doing what you do does your mama. off before you one of them was to kill them all do you go one on one ok one your food food food. man and his companions a setting out on an arduous one hundred sixty kilometer journey through villages in the country so. it will probably take them around four or five days. you look at the little you want to use.

most of the villages are in the middle of nowhere and reaching them means travelling on the tracks so the congolese improvise. and. they converge and reinforce their bicycles to withstand the poor conditions and up to three hundred kilos of much of don's. if. you cool down the. market if you know. you know. what if what if what if what if you don't know what you need. to know my name was difficult to speak.

to to make. it. better but. it takes remarkable willpower to undertake such a journey and. just feel. better than them. no you know we are no more but was there full of it down my local dipping was in

this john or was there something good to know we know. by nightfall they reach a village. to once they won't sleep by the side of the road but in a church. this will be their only meal for the day. here in this huge push him over the. unit guys you can a woman whose son would do the north dakota forcing you know it's going. you know fine you need. to go you know they'll. come over you know the cormac. when the muscle up was just if we made up on it was just too much fun in the. place

you got by duke because it was a joke with all muscles what did you. get the most just didn't you don't get all. the village of cars stuck to is sixty kilometers away. another three days of hard labor. that our photos are. a man and his family are on the tracks. by waving a red scarf he's been able to stop the train at this tiny village in the middle of

the bush go up up. up so i'm just done with him and i don't end up with you don't really i don't know yet what what when where i mean i'm sure. it's often like this. holiday work for little pay. mr malone go belly ends one hundred forty dollars a month. or never ever survived never mind it out of the gutter never have thought of first of all what they did for their double shuffle. around my. head was going to separate. see ever go get your pick up a bottle of whiskey for the love of it.

but right now his main concern is the state of the truck. he has to reduce speed to less than ten kilometers an hour. at this point the rails are not really aligned any goal to sort of progress. that are locked therefore loaded up with this. stuff. this outfit simple to satisfy the touch. on the fish oil. that i said you've got. to get out there just trust the dump risky up i said about that's just have to dodge or go with revising regardless of what those effects are threw it out yet is good i will not go.

back in the bush and his two associates have covered a third of their journey but the day is off to a bad start as one bike has had a puncture. somebody. it's the fifth time in one day. without a repair kit to a new in a cheap. patches the puncher with a piece of rubber from an old cheap one hopes for the best.

most men and his companions still have another thirty kilometers to go to reach the next village. and you don't come up with a full on your show the vehicle was on what a good name. but good for you open up what dealt with we came in you know what a few off on. that. day and your hunger. and fatigue. they barely had the strength to push their bikes anything.

be your whoa whoa whoa. the three companions journey will soon be over when they get home in a week's time delavan enough money to feed their families. back home build the swallow the danger has passed the rails all straight again. some from there. but just when everything seems more or less normal missed him a long go is confronted with a new problem if the train is losing speed. eventually it comes to a complete stop. the fact that it does so in the middle of a village is no coincidence. mr malone go believes it's sabotage if he suspects the

vendor is the one known as traffickers in the congo. i mean. this is because before the people saw. her go through the mud i got through books that does that it's very different i just got off the. bike would go back and i. said i bet there's a bit of time i would love to get to the tonight. those who do you know if you got a lot of good fun know by flying over i don't know did anybody. has been riding the swallow for ten years but on this trip he's selling soldiering while the next time he'll sell something else out of it on the way the train provides him with

a living one to decide what russian guy suited to my children and to government to do to learn to love to see my life. isn't that blue not be so it's a local about but they said it's a bit but what then are you. nervous about that if you go most in august about that you know you're going to succumb with an absolute those only one about the time that the other no muslim get to. use. motor motor mount to find out. how. one. missed him along those still has nine hundred kilometers to go before reaching their labor the train's final destination. if all goes well the sixteen hundred
