The rebuilding of Eritrea's railway between Masawa on the Red Sea Coast and Asmara the capital, following 30 years of abandonment and Civil war, was little short of miracle. This scene of the steam depot in Asmara in 1998 shows an 0-4-4-0T Compound Mallet 56 built by the Italian builder Ansaldo in 1938. A picture made on Saturday 14 March 1998.
