In "The Train from Rhodesia" by Nadine Gordimer, the train symbolizes both the physical and emotional distance between different social classes and races in South Africa. It represents the colonial and capitalist forces that perpetuate inequality, as it travels through a landscape marked by poverty and exploitation. The train also serves as a catalyst for the protagonist's awakening to her complicity in this system, highlighting her internal conflict regarding privilege and the moral implications of her choices. Ultimately, it illustrates the disconnection between the affluent travelers and the marginalized communities they pass by.
