Summary
[edit]Description"Railway Station in the Protectorate", Sierra Leone, c 1944 (3133798403).jpg |
My father gets on a train. (behind white hat) Perhaps this is the line to Bo and beyond. The Sierra Leone Government railway (1897-1974) was constructed to a 762mm gauge,reaching BO in 1903 (103 miles) and eventually terminating at Pendembu (227 miles). Garratt locomotives operated on this line during World War II. Some locomotives and carriages survive in a nascent museum in Freetown. Possible reference....See HP White, "The Railways of Sierra Leone," Railway Magazine 106 (1960): 231- 37 |
