Okay, from the comments i notice tanzanians have some animosity towards Kenyans, if your hard on for kenya lasts more than five minutes, you need to see a doctor.First they rely on insults instead of concrete arguments, by the way the guy i quoted is an economist and i would rather take advice from an economist than reading propaganda articles from the tanzanian government. Also the constant comparison between kenya and tanzania is nonsensical. It is akin to comparing a rolls royce to a bullock cart. No one has even tried to dispute the facts stated in the article, what they have done is to insult every person who offers a counter argument without offering any fact that counters the article. Also comparing a project that is by all intents and purpose still a hypothetical with a working project is illogical in the least.

And on Wednesday, Tanzania, through its state-run railway firm Reli Assets Holding Company (Rahco) put out a tender for the supply of electric locomotives, 14 of which will carry cargo. Tanzania has set aside funds for the purchase of the engines and carriages.

“It is intended that part of the proceeds of the funds would be used to cover eligible payment under the contract for supply, testing, commissioning and training of rolling stock for the SGR railway system to operate in the Tanzania central railway corridor,” reads part of the advertisement announcing the tender.

Dar is seeking the supply, testing and commissioning of the electric locomotives for freight trains and five electric multiple units. The railway firm is also looking for the supply of three electric locomotives for departmental trains, 15 first-class coaches and 45 economy-class coaches.

To supplement the electric locomotives, Tanzania is also looking at receiving two diesel locomotives for freight trains, 600 flat wagons, 500 box wagons, 200 oil tankers, 50 bulk wagons, 70 gondola wagons, 50 ballast hoppers and 50 double stack container wagons.

Ethiopia, Tanzania electric trains to speed up cargo movement

The two countries raise the stakes in the competition for cargo business in the East Africa.

You my friend have just discovered the reason for these sections of Kenyan threads, Tz inferiority complex playing itself out, there is little logic, brain use, just hating on Kenya to hide what they already know. Kenya is better and they know it very well.
The reasons they know better, sijui ni wivu au denial that its not even a competition. Kenyans are looking ahead but they want our attention. SGR in Kenya is better in structure and economic potential. Mwishowe they will build an inferior SGR for almost the same cost as us to serve tiny economies equivalent to a county in Kenya. Kama SGR is making losses at 12 cargo trains a day(its making good profit currently) sasa ya TZ na treni 2 tuu at peak to Rwanda for almost $10b in loans italipa hizo deni aje? Profit itatoka wapi?
 
Tena usisahau the biggest commercial city in Tz is Dar ambayo ndo inachukua karibu 40% ya imports kutoka nje kwahivyo reli haihitajiki kufikisha mizigo ya watu kutoka bandarini....
The only business ambayo watatengeneza ni ku export raw minerals in bulk.. na biashara ya Dodoma
