This article considers the railways as a decolonial option for moving toward mobility justice. It views the photographic artwork "Trained Man" by Ngalkban Australian artist Darren Siwes through a mobilities lens, considering how the artist plays with time and attends to space, making visible what colonial projects of protection and assimilation have attempted to erase. Attending to the truths and imaginaries that reside and move with "Trained Man," it draws on the work of Aboriginal and Black artists, scholars, and activists to trace Australia's past and present colonial history of "training" Aboriginal people into whiteness. It considers the railways as carrying “two lines of destiny” with potential moving in both colonial and decolonial directions. The article concludes by suggesting that shared spaces such as the railways open possibilities for mobilizing the decolonial project.
