Safari Steam North

Like most of the former French colonies, Senegal lost its main line steam power at an early date. By 5th August 1967, steam's last outpost was the ground-nut oil factory of Sodec Lyndiane near Kaolak where this metre gauge 0-6-0T - Haine St. Pierre (1905/1947), with the numbers 37-116 and 0.3.0-86-2 - was in store.
