Brief
Zimuto Siding is a small Railroad stop over place in the Masvingo Province of Zimbabwe. It is located north of Masvingo on the Masvingo-Gweru railwayline. It was developed as a siding initially before being commercialised. It is as old as the railway line itself and was strategically chosen to serve as a waterring hole for the then steam locomotives used as rail power, and requiring water top-ups along the journey.
- Altitude: over 1300m ( has not yet been read but will be found on the a peg on railway line)
- Masvingo to Gweru railway line passes through and it is the second stop from Masvingo going north. It used to be a watering hole for the steam trains
- The nearest airport is at Masvingo though almost nobody in this region uses it.
