Nostalgic images of the Hotel Margherita which served the ghost town of Kasese and the copper mine at Kilemebe. By 1956 the western extension of the railway from Kampala had reached Kasese and there were great hopes for its development. Tarmac roads were laid out in the familiar grid pattern but there was no industry. The railway gradually fell into disrepair and ultimately disuse (see below) but at one time there was a thrice weekly all classes passenger train, complete with dining car for first and second class passengers. This service connected with the Mail Train to and from Nairobi, which also ran three times weekly.
