The dark continent consists of many countries, all with interesting histories. As Europeans raced to colonise, a mixture of French, British, Italian, Portuguese, and other influences ensured a wide variety of steam locos.
Rhodesian 15A on Victoria Falls line May 1976
Considered by many the land of the Garratt, these locos operated in Algeria, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), East Africa (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania), Botswana, Zaire, Angola, Mozambique and of course South Africa. It was perhaps due to the often inhospitable terrain and amazing hills that these large engines proved their worth in this part of the world.
