Steam in East Africa - 1

Steam Locomotives of East and Southern Africa

This page contains some photos I have taken during my recent travels overland through Africa. I thought that they might be of interest to other steam-railway and railroading fans. You can click on any of the photos to get the full-sized image in a new browser-window.

If you wish to place one or two (!not all!) images on your own non-commercial site, please download and save them on your server. DO NOT hot-link to them. The condition of use is that you include a link back to this page, and that they are not used commercially. For any other use, please contact me for permission and prices.
