A collection of mostly previously unpublished images of the railway in Sierra Leone, from its humble beginnings through to its rediscovery and restoration as the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum.
A 120 page hardback illustrated album by Helen Ashby, the Chair of the Friends of the Sierra Leone National Railway Museum, showcasing this idiosyncratic African narrow gauge system through all the eras of its operation. See the early optimism subside to a simple aspiration to survive, and then the remarkable story of its rediscovery in the aftermath of civil war through to its 21st century preservation in a project which, uniquely in West Africa, combines Government support, the will of the people, and the experience of a small group of determined Western preservationists. 120 illustrations
