camino is a ghost station in the south of the democratic republic of congo. there's been no train service for five months but now it's running again with the train left lubumbashi the second largest city five days ago. no one knows when it will arrive . the train everyone is waiting for has a surprising name honda l. or the swallow.

he. news of the swallows arrival spreads like wildfire by the bush telegraph word of mouth. it's the cheapest rail service in the d.r. congo like a local bus stops a virtually every station and drills huge crowds. for the most street vendors at every stop even in the remotest villages the station becomes an instant market. the amateur. i don't know nor would any idea of mumble grab yet i wrote that there are several i know.

but there's not much time for selling. the train is already packed so. the passengers clamor for remaining seats. has been riding this train for twenty years and knows what to expect. from c. but it got there i think the self-employed says it said this is just deducts it was done until probably forty. i was said to simulate let's. sit by you young today.

one of them i did this to do your day for these young people for the business. but this i say alone 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. editors are you quite open about what it is and he said that it is only a few simple words it will let you get up that much of a tell you could do it but only do it when you said it was up some of them were. 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 elate of he's 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 missed him a long go has one of the hardest parts of the trip. one hundred and twenty kilometers of trouble see above the river where we've never done that it said the same guy so remember. that is an assumption that i thought about said here

already a physical that's why the trouble is this every is out there that there have a problem. mr malone go is the monster on board and supplements his income following ten passengers to travel in the driver's cabin. it's as close as he gets to first class on the train . back in second class the challenge is to avoid stepping on someone as you try and move around the carriage. it's something klim all can't get used to. play up but that was said on bus in the us he said it was set up over cement throughout the whole city coming by it it made this sense us he said then paul did you know think this thing could see

a lot of big this who just want us to go back him up there on the sunday before they put up with the people who. live you know the two lives the passengers take as much luggage as they can. it isn't all committed equally so put on the media. when they say dick's was it equally possible i love. you. but that you lose money at the falls onto. the on the plane was supposed to sell to keep let alone was a want to see the film of people to come extraordinary things sometimes happen. when i was young there was a. meissen i know you. don't want to see what you want to do and i didn't want those again those are in the. sun. so mostly sunny sunny. but. it does.

argue well for me but i will say that. the train can also be a death trap to load the foot to be flooded successful foot it does not sit at sup if i did not think of it if it were such gus nossal agong large deal to force him out to help us in my life and. last year the snares made several passengers. and those in third class risked their lives here on the route. they can easily get knocked off the moving train. league. no wait i got nothing

for going on with. her back that is out of them was going to be spoiled boy what about. his fellow travelers up on the class have to remain alert a lapse in attention could be fatal. plane. but the big. guns and. the danger comes not just from above but also from the sun. even if the moderate speed of thirty kill. which is a noun a tree branch can cut like a machete. see

. there is a lot of a. simple there's a lot of other. so forth you're there for forty seats. 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 palm oil in the villages they work for smile. moved in on a mobile go there should be

they converge and reinforce their bicycles to withstand the poor conditions and up to three hundred kilos of much of don's. no food. you cool to live with on the. market if you know school you know them be sure to put a foot or put a foot in the kitchen learn what you need. to know my name was difficult decision. to shoot. but. it takes remarkable willpower to undertake such a journey. least

she. pleased. that. make me go no go no we are no more but was there. was dipping was in. the was there whole thing again. uno piano. by nightfall they reach a village. to once they won't sleep by the side of the road but in the church.

this will be their only meal for the day. here in this your post game over the good old folks want to know you guys you know you guys you can a woman son would do the north you go forcing you know what's going on all of us here in the you know funny you know looking. come over we know the book. going to door but you do look to wind up my song was just if we made it up on it was just too much fun in the muscle movie live play she does i do it well because it was a joke when doc window muscle in the foot did more come and go say do you look at the measures to do we don't want that on.

the village of his statue is sixty kilometers away. another three days of hard labor. yet that affords. a man and his family are on the train. 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. yup so i'm just a gun woman not going to that would you take the flu shot and you know what but we're glad i mean i'm sure that.

it's often like this. called work for little pay. mr malone go belly ends one hundred forty dollars a month. an advantage that my dad got managed out of the fact that i have a lot of first of all what they did for the most open. it was going to separate what if. he ever go there still pick up a bottle. and let up on the. road. but right now his main concern is the state of the truck. he has to reduce speed to

less than ten kilometers an hour. on this point the rails are not really aligned to any mill richard but that's why they don't get out there for loaded up with this stop the end of. this outfit from a simple cystitis if i cut. the fish oil. that i said you got. to the trouble is i just must run to the dump risking said about lasts just that turn dodger know what reversion to garner the support those effects are threw it out yet is good i will not. back in the bush man 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. can wait for 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'll come up on your show. with on what

of our. son. will be up on. your wall for. the three companions journey will soon be over when they get home in a week's time they live and 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. the train is losing speed. eventually it comes to a complete still. the fact that he does so in the middle of a village is no coincidence. mr malone go believes it's sabotage he suspects the vendor is the one known as traffickers in the deal congo. this is because a lot of people saw. it go through the world got through

that does that it's. just to get lucky. we go back to the stasi. methods but then again i would love to get to the time i. was to do you know. about a. picture has been riding the swallow for ten years but on this trip he's selling soul during a while the next time he'll sell something else about it the way the train provides him with a living what to do so what about you guys so if you don't like to agree on to government to do too then it will have to be my lot more you isn't it lou not be so is that open up but they said if i have a booklet and i knew so much numbers about duffy go most in august about the no
