Sudan: cinema and steam

Post by John Ashworth »

Letter in The Railway Magazine, April 2012, p34
Malcolm Keppie wrote:The fascinating article about railway lines and football stadia reminded me of two years in Kosti, Sudan, in the 1970s. The town's cinema was right beside the line to El Obeid - and was open-air!

The most entertaining moment of the evening was when the freight headed out with a mighty North British Class 500 4-8-2 blasting past, covering the audience in smoke and drowning out the soundtrack!
