Bredin, Miles: Blood on the tracks. A rail journey from Angola to Mozambique, London: Picador . 1994 – 272 p. , ISBN 978-0-330-33033-6

On the Atlantic coast of Angola lies the decaying deserted port of Lobito, once the bustling centre for the African slave trade. Here lies the source of a railway which spans the continent. The railway is the only direct route – road, rail or air – that links the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, meandering through three civil wars, five countries, a couple of rain forests and the history of 20th-century Africa: on its rails it carries diamonds, cobalt, copper, refugees, food, mercenaries and weapons. From Lobito in Angola, through Zaire and Zimbabwe to Biera on the west coast of Mozambique, the author guides readers through some of the most corrupt and poorest countries in the world.

Rodrigues, Carla Marisa Pires: Tributos para uma História do Caminho de Ferro de Benguela: Chiado Books . 2018 – 151 S. , ISBN 978-989-52-1052-7

Com o capital inicial de 9 000 000,00  de réis, o equivalente a dois milhões de libras esterlinas, subscrito pela TanganykaConcessions, Lda., a construção do Caminho de Ferro de Benguela teve início a 1 de Março de 1903, com um acto solene, realizado junto à primitiva «ponte D. Carlos» sobre o rio Cavaco, e o assentamento do primeiro carril na cidade de Benguela. Posteriormente, os trabalhos desenvolveram-se, em simultâneo, no sentido Norte (Lobito) e no sentido Leste (interior). Ao longo de 26 anos, a construção do sistema via foi progredindo gradual e lentamente, através das províncias de Benguela, Huambo, Bié e Moxico. A sua inauguração ocorreu a 10 de Junho de 1929. Todavia, do outro lado da fronteira, somente dois anos depois, os carris do Chemin de Fer du Bas Congo ou Katanga se ligaram aos do Caminho de Ferro de Benguela, sobre a ponte internacional do rio Luau, razão pela qual o porto do Lobito, apenas em 1931, recebeu o primeiro carregamento de cobre vindo do Katanga.Para trás tinham ficado consideráveis problemas de financiamento, múltiplos obstáculos naturais e humanos (tais como, relevo, hidrografia, clima, transportes, materiais, falta de mão de obra especializada, doenças tropicais) e as adversidades da situação política internacional — nomeadamente a Primeira Grande Guerra, que obrigou à interrupção dos trabalhos.
