Even in the waning days of his presidency and thousands of miles from home, US President Joe Biden is finding ways to celebrate trains.

Mr Biden used the third and final day of his visit to Angola to showcase the Lobito Corridor railway, where the US and allies are investing heavily to refurbish 800 miles of train lines in Zambia, Congo and Angola.
