<P> The Cape to Cairo Railway is an uncompleted project to cross Africa from south to north by rail . This plan was initiated at the end of the 19th century , during the time of Western colonial rule , largely under the vision of Cecil Rhodes , in the attempt to connect adjacent African possessions of the British Empire through a continuous line from Cape Town , South Africa to Cairo , Egypt . While most sections of the Cape to Cairo railway are in operation , a major part is missing between northern Sudan and Uganda . </P>
