This is a modified clip from and older drawing to represent an approaching train in a distance
On a narrow gauge railway line that runs through this village in the Cunene Province of southern Angola, a freight train approaches from the South...The light can barely be seen down the tracks.
The village shown here is the same village on one of my stories, which is 3 kilometers (2 miles) west of the homestead of Bron and Lacarra Meerkat with their four sons; Moze, Jorad, Zhang and Cheesah.
This is an image of the typical narrow gauge trains which had been running that line:
according to that switch signel, that train is going to be coming right at you never stans in the tracks of an approching train. (they can sometimes sneak up behind you when you are not paying attention) Great image! I used to have a side line near my house that would run a train twice a day into the next town west of us to service the 'treetop' apple processor. there were occasions every now and again when they would 'accidently' send a loaded box car sailing down the tracks (closed knuckle ) and have to dispatch a switcher engine to chase it down, it happened often enough that us kids learned NOT to play on the tracks, despite being a 'side line' (single set of rails rather than a double NPRR 'main line') it was "Converted" into paved bikeing/walking trail by those "rails to trails" asshats. a while ago. heavy rail is the most fuel efficient way of transporting freight between points. but they would rather rip up the tracks and put more trucks on the road...

Of course, as far as standing on the tracks, that train looks to be about two miles away. The trains pulled by the Garrett articulating steam locomotives on that line top out at about 40 mph on that narrow gauge line...It will be about 3 minutes before the train gets to the village, thus plenty of time to get out of the way...and they do slow down for the village. It's also a main line, with Kuvango 100 miles to the north then beyond, and the Namibian border 70 miles to the south at the south end of the line.
Thanks for the input. ~ https://inkbunny.net/s/1266866 ~ Of course, as far as standing on the tr
