Railways of the British Empire: Africa

Long before Brexit, the Common Market and even the Commonwealth, Britannia truly did rule the waves.

Perhaps more unsung is the fact that she also ruled the rails over much of the world, for Britain's engineers effectively exported the Industrial Revolution and specifically the railway around the globe. This was especially true in that forerunner of the Commonwealth, The British Empire. In those parts of the world that were colored pink on school-room maps, the rapidly expanding colonial railways were supplied by British companies like Neilson Reid, Bagnall, Kitson, Cravens and Cammell-Laird. This book tells the story of the expansion of the railways of the British Empire in Africa, featuring stunning photographs, contemporary maps, posters, travel brochures and extracts from other interesting documents.
