Uganda Railway Corporation

The Uganda Railway Corporation was established in the early 20th century to build, operate, and maintain the railway lines connecting inland areas to the port of Mombasa in Kenya, facilitating transportation and economic development in East Africa. It played a vital role in the colonial period by enabling the movement of people and goods across the region. Over time, it evolved into a government-owned company managing railway services, but faced challenges like financial struggles and modernization needs. Today, it functions as a key railway operator in Uganda, supporting domestic and regional freight and passenger transport.
