As a youngster I lived at a city called Ndola in Zambia. We used the train to travel to Cape Town and other South African holiday spots. The train from Ndola to Bulawayo took 1 day and 2 nights. From Bulawayo to Cape Town also took 2 nights and 3 days. The trip was done in a compartment 1st class with 4 beads or 2nd class with 6 beads. The beds were set out with 3 on each side, the top and middle ones folding up during the day. There was also a table which folded up to revile a wash basin with hot and cold water. There were also 2 bed 1st class and 3 bed 2nd Class compartments. Due to the time spent on the train, we used the compartment for the whole trip from Ndola to Bulawayo, and from Bulawayo to Cape Town. There was room for the 4 kids to have a bit of space while my parents had the 2 bed compartment next door.
