Massawa to Asmara Timetable
Massawa to Asmara Timetable
(1 March 1930)

Notice that this timetable is from before the Littorina.  These small railcars ran much faster than the coaches pulled by Mallets which they replaced.  I remember leaving Asmara at about 6:00 or 6:30 AM.  However, I remember getting to Massawa at mid to late morning.  I think it was about 10:30 or 11:00.  This coincides with my memory of it being about a four hour trip.  I remember only stopping at Nefasit and Ghinda.  Someone has told me that they also stopped at Embatkalla.  This may have been different on different train numbers.
