Zimbabwe - Railways in Bulawayo
Bulawayo has a fantastic railway museum with an unbelievable collection of locomotives and carriages. The current railway station shows modernization, but also much that stayed the same.
We visited Zimbabwe on our overland trip from the Netherlands to South Africa and South America; see our channel for hundreds of clips.

Bulawayo in Zimbabwe, industrial capital, elegant city, tree-lined boulevards, shabby gentility
Bulawayo is in Zimbabwe. It is the second-largest city in the country, after the capital Harare, and until recently was 175, Zimbabwe's industrial capital. It is a relaxed, elegant city with tree-lined boulevards and an air of shabby gentility. However, it is worth a day or two--you can find good shopping and a worthwhile movie. It means to slaughter. This is the place where Mzilikazi had his first capital and used to slaughter his enemies.
National Art Gallery, Bulawayo, and its good art shop
Natural History Museum, that also has a historical section
The Train Museum with good historical exhibits. This includes Cecil Rhodes's private carriage. The cost is $1, and the old man running the show is friendly and eager to explain his museum.

The city's outdoor swimming pool is like something out of a 1920s movie, with its ranks of brightly painted changing booths. Lie on the grass and watch the cranes roost in the towering trees of the neighbouring botanic gardens.
