Brilliant! 5*, An unknown country with heroic, friendly and sociable people. The determination and the hard work they do is just so commendable. Through a similar programme as the Marshal Plan, they rebuild their country. Eritrea is with out a doubt a county that is a role model for many African countries. Unity, education, health and Development is their main Key. Keep it up and i sure will visit again. Long live Eritrea the Great

I riferimenti al Duce e all'Italia fascista mi sembrano quantomeno polemicamente fuori luogo; la ferrovia fu costruita a fine 800 dai militari del Genio, ben prima quindi dell'avvento di Mussolini al potere, nel 1922!

A wonderful project made by italians.

the old italian steam locomotives are still working after 70 years

"Ah, yes, look at this nice species of human, so interesting. Yes, these noble savages are heroic, friendly and sociable. They set a good example for the rest of the poor people of that beaten down continent."

@7ville09 But after it was damaged completely during the war for independence the estimated cost of rebilding the railroad system was calculated by Italians to be about 200 million dollars. yet the Eritreans did it with only 10 million dollars and with the help of old native engineers and builders that used to build with the Italians in the early 1900's. You still gotta give the people and government of Eritrea a major credit for restoring this beautiful train line.

this was back in 1996.

This railway was built by italian engeneering development in Africa's colony in the 19th century. Not for eritrean government...
