EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the laying of the first tracks near Bukama, Congo for the Cape to Cairo Railway in 1914. The ambitious project aimed to connect the southern tip of Africa at Cape Town with the northern city of Cairo, spanning thousands of miles across the continent.
In this image, we see workers diligently working on laying down tracks that will eventually form part of this trans-continental rail link. The sheer scale and complexity of such an undertaking is truly awe-inspiring, showcasing human ingenuity and determination.
The landscape surrounding Bukama appears rugged and untamed, highlighting the challenges faced by those involved in constructing this monumental railway. Despite these obstacles, progress is being made as each track is carefully laid down towards its ultimate destination.
As we gaze upon this historical photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the importance of infrastructure projects like the Cape to Cairo Railway in shaping our world and connecting distant corners of our planet. It serves as a testament to human innovation and perseverance in overcoming geographical barriers for the greater good.
