Per WP:NTRAINSTATION, train stations have no inherent notability, and Zimuto is a passing siding or passing loop, not even a station. Apart from coordinates and an unsourced statement as to why this location was selected in the steam era, most of the article is about Masvingo province in general or even Zimbabwe in general. The material on Chief Zimuto could go to a page about that chieftainship, if sources are found. Nothing to do with the railway though. Babakathy (talk) 07:52, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
