Gaza Railway

The Gaza Railway is a 2 ft 6 in narrow gauge railway that operated in southern Mozambique from Xai-Xai via Manjacaze junction (53 km) with branches to Chicomo (37 km) and Mauela (50 km). It was constructed in the early 1900s for the transportation of passengers and cashew nuts. With branches, its total length was 140 km (87 mi). The railway operated several small American steam locomotives, including a Baldwin 2-8-0, built in 1925, a Baldwin 0-6-2 and an Alco 2-6-0. In 2000, parts of the railway line were washed away by floods and the railway has not been used since then. As of 2026 the website of CFM, the national railway company of Mozambique, does not list it.
