That's a national park imepitia and not a village. That's the reaaon for the bridge. But seeing as you've already ignorantly made up your ming as to everything, its best we leave you as you are.

That train is around 857m what happened to 2 km long trains?
TZ SGR is yet to start operation! Where did you get this info from on horsepower and all?
Nyie waTZ mtueleze, SGR yenu inapita pia katikati ya mbuga za wanyama, ikiwemo Mikumi National Park. Je, yatawekwa madaraja ya juu kunusuru wanyama na watu katika mbuga na sehemu za vivuko vya barabara? Kwa mwendo kasi wa km 120/160 kwa saa wanyama na watu watakuwa hatarini.

Across every town the rail will go above n so is across national parks.
I hope there's evidence for this?

No cause for alarm over SGR, lorry owners told
In Summary
By Elizabeth Edward @TheCitizenTz news@tz.nationmedia.com
Dar es Salaam. The government has allayed fears of possible collapse of road freight when the standard-gauge railway (SGR) becomes operational.
Industry, Trade and Investment minister Charles Mwijage told the Transporters Association of Tanzania annual general meeting yesterday that SGR would complement the transport business and not kick other operators out of the field.
He noted that once SGR becomes operational, the economy would be stimulated and efficiency enhanced, leading to more business to transporters.
“Don’t fear. Just be innovative, increase your efficiency and be prepared for more business when SGR becomes operational,” he said here.
Road freight is a huge business in Tanzania, with transporters serving the hinterland as well as landlocked countries in eastern and central Africa.
In Tanzania, road transport is the most widely used due to the poor state of railways.
It serves over 90 per cent of passengers and 75 per cent of the freight.
The meeting was expected to elect new leaders.
Outgoing president Zacharia Hans Poppe told the minister that transporters faced challenges of conflicting regulations.
Non-tariff barriers and lack of packing space for lorries were other problems, Mr Hans Poppe noted.
“Parking space is inadequate at the Dar es Salaam port especially at the gate 5, leading to frequent arrests of drivers by municipal authorities when they park in unauthorised areas,” he lamented.
Mr Mwijage promised transporters that the government would work on the challenges. He advised them to work together for the common cause.
Tanzania is constructing SGR to link the country to the neighbouring countries of Rwanda and Uganda, and through these two, to Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. SGR is intended to replace the old, inefficient metre-gauge railway system.

Nguzo zilizojengwa ndaniya NNP zilichimbiwa twice as deep kuliko nguzo zengine ili ziwe na very minimal vibration. Alafu hata bado hawajamaliza ujenzi....
As you can see in this pic , kuna vitu vinaongezwa, hizo chuma zinakaa kama mkono wa kikombe, wataunganisha noise deflector treni ikipita itakua kelele inazuliwa kuenea - Yuo can also see, wanyama wameshanza kuzoea hilo daraja wanalitumia kama kivuli mchana
Artistic impression from the ESIA report, Hilo daraja litakua kama hivi wakimaliza ujenzi....

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.
