I hate that story
The train station is located in a poor section of South Africa. The old man in The Train from Rhodesia lives near the train. He initially tries to sell his carved lion for three shillings and sixpence to the young couple, but fails.
The name Zambia had before independence was Northern Rhodesia. The territory has had various names as the Colonial boundaries shifted around (it was part of Nyasaland at one point) - but Northern Rhodesia is probably the answer you want.
It had no official name before Rhodesia.

There is no "New Rhodesia" , nor has there ever been. Zambia was previously Northern Rhodesia.
In the story "Train from Rhodesia," the train symbolizes the promise of change and escape from the oppressive realities of colonial life, as it represents movement toward a different future. The station, on the other hand, embodies stagnation and the harshness of the characters' current circumstances, serving as a reminder of their limited choices and the socio-economic divides that exist. Together, these symbols highlight the tension between hope and disillusionment in a colonial context.
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.
Northern Rhodesia is now Zambia. Southern Rhodesia is now Zimbabwe.
