Ernest Genval explores the scenery along the railway line that links Boma to Tshela in the Mayumbe area. The train passes through the lush and dense vegetation of the thick forests and stops by farm estates along the route like Lukula, the Urselia domain (a colonial manufacturer of cocoa powder and palm oil), Lubuzi River and its new bridge, the Kangu mission and Tshela, where manufactured products are loaded onto boats for shipment to Europe. The train journey is also an eyewitness account of the workings of a well-oiled colonial system and the development of the black workforce at its service.

Ernest Genval explora la vía férrea que une Boma y Tshela, en la región de Mayumbe. El convoy cruza la densa vegetación de la selva y se detiene en lugares "estratégicos" como Lukula, la plantación Urselia (una manufactura colonial de café, aceite de palma y cacao), el río Lubuzi y su puente nuevo, la misión Kangu y Tshela, donde los productos se cargan a bordo de barcos camino de Europa. Un periplo que enseña el engranaje perfectamente lubricado del sistema colonial con una mano de obra sometida.
