ABSTRACT
The Railways in Tanganyika Territory consist of the Central Railway from Dar-es-Salaam to Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika, and the Tanga Railway from Tanga to Moschi. The construction of the Central Railway was originally commenced in 1905 by a German private company, the Ost Afrikanische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft,1 to whom land and mining concessions were granted. It is now universally recognized in all large railway systems that some scheme of insurance against old age, whether in the shape of pensions, provident fund or superannuation scheme, is necessary, both in the interests of the employers and of the staff. In any consideration of the future development of the transportation services in countries like Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika, whose future prosperity depends solely on their capacity to export raw products, the question of ports is one of the first to demand attention. The two main systems centring on Kilindini and Dar-es-Salaam are best described by the analogy of a large river system..
