[edit] Name of page
This page was called 'Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority' but it is a general article on the railway not a specialised article on the Authority. Most people these days would look it up as 'Tazara Railway', and it is also referred to as 'Tanzam Railway' like the Tanzam Highway. However, 'Tazara Railway' is becoming the accepted one, and I have changed it to that.Rexparry sydney 05:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TAZARA Railway#Standards
To say that the loading gauge in the tunnels is restricted is meaningless unless it is smaller (or less) than that of the other 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge railways to which it is connected. If it be equal to the loading gauge of the others, the statement would be meaningless. Please clarify. Peter Horn 16:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What is "final altitude"?
"Total length is 1,860 km and the final altitude is 1,400 m."
Is the "final altitude" the altitude at one end of the line? If so, which? Or is it the highest (or lowest) point on the line? If it's the altitude at one end of the line, why is it significant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.220.195 (talk) 16:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
