Fair use rationale for Image:Zimbabwe.Rail.jpg
Image:Zimbabwe.Rail.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Rhodesia or Rhodesian
Was the old name Rhodesia Railways or Rhodesian Railways? Biscuittin (talk) 19:00, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

It was Rhodesia Railways. When I travelled on the Bulawayo to Vic Falls route in 1993 they still used the RR rolling stock so all the windows had the RR logo etched onto them. Even the metal napkin holders in the dining car had the RR logoTigershoot (talk) 18:23, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Racism on rails.
Hi-res photo of a passenger carriage manufactured in 1936 for Rhodesia Railways by Ganz-MAVAG, Budapest, Hungary: https://fortepan.hu/en/photos/?id=170274

The right-side door is marked "Natives" which means white-european colonialists and aboriginal negroes had to use different entrances and I assume even the interior was divided into separate cabins to preserve "racial purity". (Not that Ganz-Mavag has much to be proud of: by 1944 they stooped even lower, converting cattle waggons for Shoah deportation purposes...) Etomcat (talk) 11:26, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
