Mpika railway station

Located in the town of Mpika, it has a passenger station, and many goods sidings.

At the centre of Mpika railway station is a crossing loop and several parallel sidings mainly used for shunting.

The passenger station with a grand entrance is located at this point with a prominent road opposite.

This master siding dives under the main line for two reasons, firstly to avoid sharper curves, and secondly to connect with the crossing loop rather than the passenger platform.

The goods depot is very close to the passenger station which helps supervision.
