In 1970, construction began on the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (Tazara), a daring project financed by China to connect Zambia's Copperbelt to the East African coast. Despite being deemed too risky by the World Bank, the $500 million railway was completed in six years by Chinese and African workers. The 1860-kilometer track stretches from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia, overcoming dense forests, mountains, and rivers. The project claimed the lives of 160 workers and continues to pass through wildlife-rich nature parks.

They touch the sky and for some they go straight to hell afterwards, leading over extreme heights, across oceans or savannahs and braving hurricanes. A challenge for intrepid engineers and railway builders who have been conquering nature with state-of-the-art technology for almost 300 years. Railway lines are not only legendary carriers of myths, people and machines. They are also the proof of high engineering skills and witnesses to the indomitable will of humankind to open up new routes into the unknown in order to conquer nature and its treasures. Railway lines on all continents tell the story of industrial culture, of progress and the art of travel.
