The railway clock that runs this city
The Congo-Ocean Railway, completed in 1934 under French colonial rule and built with forced labor, gave Dolisie its importance. Trains connecting the interior timber and agricultural regions to the port at Pointe-Noire pass through Dolisie, and the rail schedule defines much of the city’s commercial rhythm. Freight moves when the trains run, and the trains run on a posted schedule. The clock in Dolisie serves the railway more than it serves the sun.
