The Netherlands-South African Railway Company (''Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij'') or NZASM was established in August 1884 in the Transvaal, and funded by Dutch, German and Transvaal capitalists.〔 〕 The license was conditional on the route from Delagoa Bay to Pretoria being complete before the end of 1894. The line, surveyed by British engineer Thomas Hall, opened on 2 November 1894. The line was created in an attempt to break the dependence of the South African Republic on the British colonies to the south. By building a railway eastwards into Portuguese Mozambique the settlers would have a trade route that did not run through British territory. It adopted the of the neighbouring Cape Government Railways. After the Second Boer War it was taken over by Central South African Railways. ==See also== *List of NZASM locomotives 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Netherlands-South African Railway Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
