In connection with the outbreak of the First World War, the colonial power destroyed its own railroad line between L\u00fcderitz and Aus.<\/p>\n<p>The destroyed section between Aus and L\u00fcderitz was rebuilt by the Namibian authorities. The route was due to open in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Along the newly built line &#8211; with neatly arranged level crossings &#8211; there are still remains of the old track and railroad facilities. So the line is finished and yet no train is running? Oh yes, after completing the route, we realized that there is sand in this area. Lots of sand. Sand was not considered when planning the new route. Something like that, shaking my head in disbelief. The wind constantly blows new sand over the tracks and before the railroad could go into operation, the brand-new tracks were blown over. Will the solution to the sand problem be found in Windhoek over the next few years or will the opening wait until the tracks are blown clear again?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/L\u00fcderitz-Namtib-3297.jpg\" aria-label=\"Bahnhof\" class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1365\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/L\u00fcderitz-Namtib-3297.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/L\u00fcderitz-Namtib-3297.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/L\u00fcderitz-Namtib-3297-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/L\u00fcderitz-Namtib-3297-420x236.jpg 420w, https:\/\/onwheels.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/L\u00fcderitz-Namtib-3297-840x473.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"w-grid type_grid layout_gallery_with_titles_below hidden cols_5 preload_style_spinner\" id=\"us_grid_5\" style=\"--columns:5;--gap:4px;\" data-filterable=\"true\"><style>@media (max-width:767px){#us_grid_5{--columns:4!important}}@media (max-width:479px){#us_grid_5{--columns:2!important}}<\/style><div class=\"w-grid-list\"><\/div><div class=\"w-grid-preloader\">\t<div class=\"g-preloader type_1\">\r\n\t\t<div><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\t<div class=\"w-grid-json hidden\" onclick='return {&quot;action&quot;:&quot;us_ajax_grid&quot;,&quot;infinite_scroll&quot;:0,&quot;max_num_pages&quot;:0,&quot;pagination&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;template_vars&quot;:{&quot;columns&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;exclude_items&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;img_size&quot;:&quot;thumbnail&quot;,&quot;ignore_items_size&quot;:0,&quot;items_layout&quot;:&quot;gallery_with_titles_below&quot;,&quot;items_offset&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;load_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;overriding_link&quot;:&quot;%7B%22type%22%3A%22popup_image%22%7D&quot;,&quot;post_id&quot;:0,&quot;query_args&quot;:{&quot;post_type&quot;:[&quot;attachment&quot;],&quot;post__in&quot;:[&quot;1374&quot;,&quot;1338&quot;,&quot;1366&quot;,&quot;1370&quot;,&quot;1368&quot;,&quot;1367&quot;,&quot;1364&quot;,&quot;1357&quot;,&quot;1358&quot;,&quot;1359&quot;],&quot;post_status&quot;:&quot;inherit&quot;,&quot;post_mime_type&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;posts_per_page&quot;:999},&quot;orderby_query_args&quot;:{&quot;orderby&quot;:{&quot;post__in&quot;:&quot;ASC&quot;},&quot;order&quot;:&quot;ASC&quot;},&quot;type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;us_grid_post_type&quot;:&quot;attachment&quot;,&quot;us_grid_ajax_index&quot;:5,&quot;us_grid_filter_query_string&quot;:null,&quot;us_grid_index&quot;:5,&quot;page_args&quot;:[],&quot;lang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}}'><\/div>\r\n\t<\/div><div class=\"w-grid-none type_message\">No results found.<\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>The road builders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The road builders are obviously smarter than the railroad builders.
