Italian Steam Locomotive

The Italian Steam Locomotive is one of Eritrea's principal modes of transportation for tourists. When you enter the nation, you have the unique opportunity to enjoy this ride, which provides you an experience that only the country's older residents experienced during colonial times.

Despite being sluggish (moving at roughly 10 km/h) and very inconvenient, the Italian Steam Locomotive is nevertheless less expensive than reserving a full automobile. The railway appears to run exclusively when visitors throng to the nation during peak vacation seasons in the West. If you visit Eritrea at these times, you will most certainly encounter a large number of other foreigners on the same train, which may or may not be a pleasant experience.

When the train is running, people stampede for seats, which may lead to physical conflicts, and you may find yourself in the middle of one of these fights. And now, the government of Eritrea has reconstructed a portion of those locomotives, the first four, which were the subject of the revised transfer agreement and executed by my modification to the 2016 decree orders, and they are expected to return to service in a few weeks.
