The first state railway line in German South West Africa was the connection between Swakopmund and Windhoek, built in 1902 during Imperial Germany's colonial rule. In 1914 this line was extended to Walvis Bay, with a railtrack very close to the shore of the Atlantic Ocean.
The line to Lüderitz was rehabilitated in the 2010s and was scheduled for reopening in 2017. Test trains ran to Lüderitz in 2014 and Lüderitz Harbour in 2018. [6] Currently (2023) the line is open and primarily used to carry mineral ore from South African mines to Luderitz from where it is shipped to foreign markets.
