Swakopmund Railway Station ((ドイツ語:Bahnhof Swakopmund)) is a railway station serving the town of Swakopmund in Namibia. It is part of the TransNamib railway network. Its IATA code is ZSZ.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Swakopmund, Railway Station (ZSZ) information )〕 ==Overview== Swakopmund was the starting point of the first state railway line in German South West Africa. The railway station was built in 1901, as a terminal on the Imperial Germany's colonial Kaiserliche Eisenbahn line connecting Swakopmund with Windhoek. The station was designed by Willi Sander, who also later designed Swakopmund Lighthouse. In 1914 the extension to Walvis Bay was completed, with a railtrack very close to the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. In 1980 this extension was replaced by an alternative route behind the dunes that allowed for higher axle load. The station building, declared a national monument in 1972, today serves as a hotel and casino; trains stop outside town. There is another former station building in Swakopmund, the ''O.M.E.G. Bahnhof'' of the private mining company ''Otavi Minen und Eisenbahn Gesellschaft'', today housing a museum.
