Both the 2ft 6ins gauge Sierra Leone Government Railway (SLGR) and the 3ft 6ins mineral line of the Sierra Leone Development Company were British built and equipped. The journey over the former usually took two days, but can be undertaken in two hours in your armchair with the aid of this volume. It contains many fascinating revelations.
