"Choof-Choof", "Jiag-Jiag", "Kacharak-Kacharak", memories of the trains that once existed in Mauritius are still fresh in the minds of the few witnesses. Numerous anecdotes pave the path of the trains, which moved around the island from 1864 to 1964, giving us a glimpse of the fanciful railway era of Mauritius.
So, are you ready for a train movie?
