Extensive forests of Zambian Teak grow on the sandy soils of the south-west part of Southern Province and the south-east part of Western Province. To extract the timber the Mulobezi Railway was built from Livingstone in the 1920s and once extended beyond Mulobezi to the north-west. Today, commercially viable stocks of the slow-growing teak trees are virtually used up and the timber industry is a shadow of its former self.
Transport
The railway still operates a weekly service from Livingstone with Mulobezi as the terminus.

gollark: The wikipedia page for `The Underground History of American Education` seems to have archive.org links to some stuff, but naturally my mobile network blocks archive.org because that makes sense and is an entirely reasonable thing to do.
gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
