  • This album depicting early stages of the Uganda Railway's construction was given to Clifford Craufurd by George Whitehouse, Chief Engineer, in January 1897, as a mark of gratitude for his assistance as the railway passed through his jurisdiction. It is particularly valuable for its depictions of railway workers and the technology and logistics behind the creation of the "Lunatic Express."
