Mombasa in Kenya

[Roger Farnworth]

I have recently been researching the metre-gauge lines that served Kampala and Uganda from the East African coast at Mombasa. While doing research on the route of the line out of Mombasa, I came across photographs and, in particular, old postcards that showed traces of tramway or trolleyway in the streets of Mombasa in the late nineteenth century. I thought it needed more research and this article is the result.
