Cost comparison SGR Kenya vs SGR Tanzania

[Geza Ulole]

First of all, How would you even measure distance from a video..........
Anyway, Perhaps you have confused that with the length of a loop track at a passing station..

Kenya's design model was to have short smaller trains operating at high frequency... The length of a typical double stacked freight train is 880m.

Simple mathematics the length of those 37 double stackers wagon is known!

Nafikiri hapa ni Suswa ..Sijui wachina waliweka mikakati gani hili eneo manake ardhi hua inapasuka mara kwa mara

Suswa Fault lines

Hapo sio suswa. It's the Nnairobi National park

Ndo nilikua nashangaa eneo zima halina hata nyumba moja,

Anyway, Naona SGR ilishakumbana na Suswa fault line na nguzo hazikua affected, lakini wachina ilibidi wachime lines za mitaro ili ku redirect hip crack/pressure .

Kama mtu ako makini, ukiangalia design ya Suswa persenger station, it was inspired by a fault moutaing formation... kumaanisha they knew it will be a challenging section.

The Electrified FRIEGHT rail that was built by Ethiopia using a Loan from China has made 7 B ksh loss since Inception.

This is due to inadequate power supply.

Ethiopia is the leading producer of HEP in East Africa.

Imagine what is waiting for the Electrified trains in Bongo that produces the least power in East Africa.

The choice to go for Diesel by Kenya has been hailed as the best economic decisions of all time.

Hongereni kenya kwa kuangalia kisogoni kwa karne ya 21

Mwanzo wa mwaka mlikua mnacheka Kenya kwa loss ya $10Million kwa ku run SGR for the first six months, Ethiopia imefikisha $1Billion loss! ndio maana China ikakubali ku restructure deni la Ethiopia SGR from 10 years payment perio to 30 years kwasababu there was no way they were going to pay in 10 years time ...
Botched Chinese railway project in Africa is a warning to belt and road investors

• Lessons should be drawn from the poorly executed US$4 billion Addis Ababa-Djibouti freight railway, warns head of China’s export credit insurer

The planning behind many of China’s major infrastructure projects abroad has been “downright inadequate”, leading to huge financial losses, according to the head of the country’s state export credit insurer.
Wang Wen, of China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation, known as Sinosure, said Chinese developers and financiers of projects in developing nations supported by Beijing’s “Belt and Road Initiative” need to step up their risk management to avoid disaster.
He cited the mistakes of a major railway project in Africa that has cost Sinosure close to US$1 billion in losses, according to its chief economist.
Lessons should be drawn from the poorly executed US$4 billion Addis Ababa-Djibouti freight railway that was inaugurated early this year but has already had to restructure its debt because of underuse caused by power shortages, Wang told a belt and road infrastructure financing forum in Hong Kong earlier this month.
“Ethiopia’s planning capabilities are lacking, but even with the help of Sinosure and the lending Chinese bank it was still insufficient.”

Ulichosema hapo bila kujua ni kwamba unakubali miundombinu yote ya SGR Kenya. Ambacho hukubali ni mitambo ya reli. Ni kama vile mtu asifu barabara lakini acheke gari linaloendeshwa hapo juu ya barabara, La muhimu ni kwamba miundombinu iliotumika kujenga SGR itatuika kwa miaka 80-100, lakini gari ya moshi inaweza kugeuzwa siku zote. Gari ya moshi la abiria Kenya liko na maximu speed of 158km/hr (This was tested and proven during the testing phase last year), Na gari la moshi la kubeba mizigo liko na Max speed of 100km/hr......... Lakini average speed ni 120km/hr na 80km/hr respectively...... Hapa tunaongelea mitambo ya diesel...

Lakini juuya reli hio hio, ukiweka stima story inakua tofauti....... we will see who will have the last laugh



Chinese ambassador to Kenya Liu Xianfa told the Business Daily that President Uhuru Kenyatta supports the upgrade plans.
“We told the President this was possible, but we needed access to reliable power,” said Dr Xianfa. “If effected, it means we can have lunch in Nairobi and later be in Mombasa for dinner in the evening.”
Dr Xianfa reckons that the electric train will move at a speed of 240 kilometres per hour, up from the planned diesel engine speed of 120 kilometre per hour.

Ni kampuni gani za kiserekali ambazo unaweza kusema zimeendeshwa vizuri hapo Tanzanzania kiasi cha kua mfano mzuri Africa nzima????? Ethiopia wako na kampuni za stima ambazo zinazalisha umeme mata tatu zaidi ya Tz, wako na kampuni ya serekali ya Mawasilianao ambayo ina tosheleza mahitaji ya 90million population.. Ethiopian Airline ndo National carreir pekee Africa nzima ambayo inapata faidazaidi ya $100m kwa mwaka............ Hawa ndo watu walikua wanafaa waendeshe SGR yao vizuri zaidi kushinda nchi zengine hapa Africa manake wanajua kuendesha kampuni za kiserekali
