History of rail transport in Namibia
:''This article is part of the history of rail transport by country series.''
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 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 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 gauge.
