Dear Sir,
22nd November 2010My greatest wish is for our country to get back the Railway system again.
A lot of things will be different, Farming will grow, The City will be less overcrowded.A lot of Sierra Leoneans after living in big Cities overseas will want to appreciate the smaller cities at home. With the Railway you can always move everywhere, anytime. I am writing from Germany.
