Changes

Following the end of the [[Abyssinian Campaign ]] in 1868, some of the railway equipment that had been used were sent to Aden. A small shed and workshop had been constructed to containt the two locomotives, wagons, rails and equipment. The intention was to build a railway from the pier head to the post office and possibly on to the cantonment. The line was considered to be a purely military venture and not expected to pay its own expense and that the main user would be the Commissariat Stores. The equipment was still in store in 1871-72 and the last record was 1872-73 <ref name =IA34>“Industrial Railways and Locomotives of India and South Asia” compiled by Simon Darvill.
