John R. Day wrote two volumes in the early 1960s about the railways of Africa. The first was about the southern area of the continent and entitled, unsurprisingly, ‘Railways of Southern Africa’. The second volume was entitled ‘Railways of Northern Africa’ and dealt with the remainder of the continent.

An on-line acquaintance very kindly sent me a copy of the chapter from that second volume which covers British East Africa. Today, the chapter title would give cause for concern for some people, but colonial attitudes still held sway in the 1960s.

Reading that chapter piqued my interest and I managed to pick up a secondhand copy of the book at a reasonable cost. ...
