An Early Monorail in Uganda

[rogerfarnworth]

I enjoyed reading Adrian Garner's book "Monorails of the 19th Century." I discovered from it that the first rail link between what was at the time Port Kampala and Kampala itself in Uganda was a monorail!

Rolling stock was propelled along the line by bullocks rather than any form of mechanical propulsion.

The line was less than 8 miles long and lasted no more than a few years.

These are the details:

This is very interesting. I tend to agree with the opinion of Director of Uganda Transport. It is not really a monorail as most people know it.
