EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time and experience the thrill of travel aboard an Electric Train carriage, as it once transported passengers from Heliopolis to the vibrant heart of Cairo, Egypt. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of rail transport in North Africa during the 1930s. The sleek design of the high-speed Electric Train, with its overhead cables humming with electricity, represents a significant advancement in transportation technology during that era. The comfortable, spacious interiors of the carriage offer a contrast to the harsh desert landscape outside, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride for its passengers. For the brave soldiers traveling in uniform, a special half-price fare was extended as a token of appreciation for their service. The Electric Train's arrival in Cairo marked the beginning of a new era in travel, connecting the bustling city with its northern suburbs and beyond. As you admire the intricate details of this historical relic, imagine the stories it could tell of the people and cultures it has connected over the years. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Egypt's rich railway history and its role in shaping the continent's transport infrastructure." Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online.
