The history of rail transport in Namibia began with a small mining rail line at Cape Cross in 1895. The first major railway project was started in 1897 when the German Colonial Authority built the 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge Staatsbahn (State Railway) from Swakopmund to Windhoek. By 1902 the line was completed. Parallel to this government initiative, the Otavi Mining and Railway Company (O.M.E.G.) was established. It built another 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge line, the Otavibahn, from Swakopmund to Tsumeb via Otavi between 1903 and 1906, and a branch from Otavi to Grootfontein in 1907/08.

  • The history of rail transport in Namibia began with a small mining rail line at Cape Cross in 1895. The first major railway project was started in 1897 when the German Colonial Authority built the 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge Staatsbahn (State Railway) from Swakopmund to Windhoek. By 1902 the line was completed. Parallel to this government initiative, the Otavi Mining and Railway Company (O.M.E.G.) was established. It built another 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge line, the Otavibahn, from Swakopmund to Tsumeb via Otavi between 1903 and 1906, and a branch from Otavi to Grootfontein in 1907/08. The German colonial railway was taken over by the Railways of South Africa after World War I, and linked into the network of South Africa. After the independence of Namibia, TransNamib took control of the national rail network, which, by that time, had long since been converted to 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge. (en)
  • La historia del transporte ferroviario en Namibia comenzó con una pequeña línea ferroviaria minera en en 1895. El primer proyecto ferroviario importante se inició en 1897 cuando la Autoridad Colonial Alemana construyó el Staatsbahn (Ferrocarril del Estado) de 600 mm de ancho de vía desde Swakopmund hasta Windhoek. En 1902 se terminó de completar la línea. Paralelamente a esta iniciativa gubernamental, se estableció la Otavi Mining and Railway Company (O.M.E.G.). Construyó otra línea de 600 mm de ancho, el Otavibahn, desde Swakopmund a Tsumeb vía Otavi entre 1903 y 1906, y un ramal de Otavi a Grootfontein en 1907/08.​ El ferrocarril colonial alemán fue tomado por los Ferrocarriles de Sudáfrica después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, y se unió a la red de Sudáfrica. Después de la independencia de Namibia, TransNamib tomó el control de la red nacional de ferrocarriles, que para entonces ya se había convertido en una red de 1067 mm de ancho de vía. (es)
