In this episode, we look at the embodiment of industrialization: the steam train. We recap some of the main features of the Industrial Revolution, and then turn our attention to how railways changed time, space and behaviour. We also investigate the significance of trains in South African history. To understand the symbolism of railways, one needs some background information on the mineral revolution in South Africa, as well as the associated migrant labour system that developed. We talk about the musical heritage around trains, e.g. Shosholoza and Hugh Masekela's Stimela.
