Description: |
|
Rusting locomotives sit near each end of the main cross-island
road, which follows the old railway route. Surrounding them are
placards detailing the history of the railway, which the French
built in the late 1800s as a way of transporting supplies around
the impassable falls. The railway has been out of use since WWII
(when the Japanese briefly used it) since new roads made it
redundant, and the track has long since been carted off. |
