caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Zug im Bahnhof Abbabis, auf der mit einer Spurweite von 600 mm erbauten rund 380 km langen Bahnstrecke Swakopmund–Windhoek, im damaligen Deutsch-Südwestafrika, heute Namibia. An der Spitze des Zuges eine Brigade-Feldbahn Dampflokomotive vom Typ Zwillinge mit der Bauart Cn2t+Cn2t, gefolgt von zwei Wasserwagen und mehreren Güterwagen. Die mit einfachsten Mitteln erbaute Bahn, die anfänglich durch das Kaiserliche Eisenbahnkommando betrieben wurde, ist eher einer Kleinbahn als denn einer Feldbahn zuzuordnen. Das Bild, der Originaldatensatz, wurde zugeschnitten.

context_page_description: Abbabis is a disused railway station southwest of Karibib in the Erongo Region of western Namibia on the 600 mm dismantled narrow gauge Swakopmund–Windhoek railway line established in 1900. When this line was converted to 1,067 mm from 1910 onwards, it lo longer passed Abbabis.
  The etymology of the station is not clear: Either it is from the Khoikhoi language for 'red spot', or from Nama language abas for 'gourd', as in the case of a farm approximately 300 km further south.
  Near to the station was a German convalescent home, in which the soldiers of the imperial protection force could recover. A ruin of its office building is still visible on a paddock. The soldiers camped in tents and barracks. The rails have long been lifted. The station building has been extended at its front and rear. It is now used as a private residence. The water supply is still from the old well.
