Cecil John Roade's, who was responsible for setting up much of the Cape to Ciro line used the 3' 6" gauge through South Africa, Bechuanaland (now Botswana), Southern Rhodesia, (now Zimbabwe) over the Victoria Falls and into Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and into the Belgium Congo, (now Zaire). Almost all of Southern Africa was run on the 3'6" gauge, though there were some other gauges used on small and or private railways. The Garratt's used in Southern Africa were 10' 6" wide although the track is only 3' 6" wide.
