EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable feat of engineering that is The Uganda Railway. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image transports us back to a time when construction was underway on this monumental railway project. The photograph captures a steep gradient along the railway line, highlighting the immense challenges faced during its construction. In the foreground, we see a group of workers known as "bankers" who were responsible for assisting trains up these treacherous slopes. Their determination and strength are palpable as they navigate their way through this demanding task. In the background, we catch a glimpse of a bank building, serving as a reminder of the financial support required to bring such ambitious projects to life. This juxtaposition between human labor and infrastructure symbolizes both progress and perseverance. The Uganda Railway played a crucial role in connecting various regions within Uganda and beyond, opening up new opportunities for trade and transportation. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience in overcoming geographical obstacles. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of the significant impact that railways have had on shaping societies worldwide. It serves as an important visual record documenting not only an impressive engineering achievement but also capturing moments from our shared history.
