The historic terminus of the Uganda Railway in the capital, this station marked the inland end of the line that ran from the Kenyan coast and shaped the growth of Kampala as a commercial centre. The colonial-era station building and its yards recall the age when rail connected the East African interior to the Indian Ocean. Though passenger services have waned over the decades, the station remains a heritage landmark of the city's industrial past and a reminder of the transport network that knit the region together.
