"Martin Luther" locomotive, Namibia<br> Africa picture - On the outskirts of the Victorian city of Swakopmund sits this steam locomotive, brought to Namibia in 1896 to haul freight. It broke down in the desert, never to run again. Riddled with holes from the blowing sand, locals irreverently named this the "Martin Luther" locomotive, alluding to the German religious reformers famous statement made at Worms in 1527 -- "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise."
