In 2001, during the commemoration of the historic Lunatic Express 100 years, the Sikh youth of Kenya reenacted how it may have been a century back in British East Africa during the building of the Uganda Railway. They tailored the clothing, and demonstrated a scene at the Makindu Railway Station where a special train made a pass by, marking this nostalgic moment in the founding of a country that was literally built by the railway. This photo combines the present day reenactment coolies in the foreground, montaged over the actual image of the coolies building the railway, circa 1898.
