Back to the old industrial complex in Nzara, near Yambio in the far south western corner of South Sudan. The steam engines seem pretty much as they were when I last visited them 5 years ago. The major change is that they are now in South Sudan, not Sudan, as South Sudan became independent in July 2011. Once again I signed the original leather-bound visitor book, my third time.
