The new "Aus to Luderitz" railway at the old Garub railway station. Southern Namibia.

---

Garub was once a station on the railway line from Aus to Luederitz, completed in 1906. Because there was no drinking water in Luederitz, the water had to be transported in barrels by train from Garub to the coast, a journey of 120 kilometres. Luederitz later received its own waterpipe and in 1990 the station Garub was closed. The little station house is still standing and can be visited.
