Eritrean Railway
A Mallet steam locomotive of the Eritrean Railway, the only railway system in Eritrea. Originally constructed by the Kingdom of Italy when Eritrea was its colony, the railway, which connects Massawa to Asmara, was heavily damaged in World War II as well as the Eritrean War of Independence. It was only rebuilt in the 1990s and continues to use equipment from the 1930s.Photo credit: Tivedshambo
