The first railway in the country, operated by [[Rhodesian Railways]] when the territory was administered as [[North-Western Rhodesia]] and [[North-Eastern Rhodesia]], reached the Broken Hill mine as early as 1906, and the town became the northern base for the railway, which was the second biggest employer after the [[mining]] industry. A locomotive maintenance facility was constructed there. In 1909 the railway reached [[Ndola]] in what was to become the [[Copperbelt]]. | The first railway in the country, operated by [[Rhodesian Railways]] when the territory was administered as [[North-Western Rhodesia]] and [[North-Eastern Rhodesia]], reached the Broken Hill mine as early as 1906, and the town became the northern base for the railway, which was the second biggest employer after the [[mining]] industry.
