A historic Ghanaian railway carriage, part of artist Ibrahim Mahama’s collection, was destroyed by fire during repairs in Tamale on February 18, 2026.
A vintage railway carriage owned by Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama was destroyed by a fire on February 18, 2026, during repair work at Red Clay Studios in Tamale.
The fire, likely caused by sparks from ongoing repairs, reduced the historically significant train—part of Ghana’s earliest railway stock—to ruins.
Mahama, who had acquired the carriage after a challenging collection process, expressed deep sorrow over the loss but confirmed no injuries occurred.
The Ghana National Fire Service responded promptly, and Mahama praised their efforts and community support.
The incident highlights the risks involved in preserving aging cultural artifacts, especially during restoration.
