I have to admit to waking up to the sound of my driver firing, but this was on a 42 hour shift. No relive was able to get to us as we were stuck just over the Victoria Falls bridge in Zambia. We spent 42 hours at the siding before we were aloud to take the train in to Livingstone. This was all due to customs & Immigration wanting to make passenger's walk back to Vic. Falls as they were not welcome into Zambia. About 95% of the passenger's were African. As it was a passenger train, there was a dinning car on the train, so we were feed, but there was nowhere for us to sleep as the train was full. We were aloud to detach the loco and run into Livingston to take on Water and coal on condition that we returned and re-joined the train.
