Resti della ferrovia costruita dagli Italiani.

This picture was taken recently.  Initially,  I believed this was the station from which I left the Littorina in 1961, which I mentioned in my narative about a trip from Asmara to Massawa.  However, in retrospect, it is of similar architecture, but the one in Tom Johnson's picture is the real station.

The two main industries supplying the railway with cargo are on the Mainland. One is the salt factory which presented mountains of white to the skyline.  The other is the cement factory which is north of the city.
