Tanzania / Zanzibar: A steam locomotive on the Bububu Railway, early 20th century
Auto-translated text View Original Source
Date
1901 AD - 1930 AD (C20th AD)
Image description

Zanzibar was the first country in East Africa to introduce the steam locomotive. Sultan Bargash bin Said had a seven mile railway constructed from his palace at Stone Town to Chukwani in 1879. Initially the two Pullman cars were hauled by mules but in 1881 the Sultan ordered an 0-4-0 tank locomotive from the English locomotive builders Bagnall. The railway saw service until the Sultan died in 1888 when the track and locomotive were scrapped.
