The railway clock that runs this city

The Congo-Ocean Railway, completed in 1934 under French colonial rule and built with forced labor from recruited workers across the region at enormous human cost — over 17,000 construction deaths — gave Dolisie its importance.[3] 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.
