Japan is a country known to be in a tectonic plates (frequent earthquakes occur there!), u will be stupid to compare Kunyaland to japan! Lazyness and impunity is the reason for shoddy works in Kunyaland! Stop comparing ur sorry corrupt and nephotic butthole to Japan!

Kwahivyo in Japan they expect them, which means they should have already thought about it, unlike in Kenya where it was not a normal occurrence thus no measures were put in place to prevent such a thing because we have never had this happen in this part of the region.

MY TAKE
Wachaga upumbavu!
Na hata kama they built it, so what? Even the private company called grain bulk holders built and owns about 10km of SGR track, about 3km in Mombasa and another 7km branch in Nairobi that goes directly to their facilities....
Cement companies in Athi River too will soon construct their own branches that lead to their plants ... Kila mtu na uwezo wake.
Hebu niambie ni kampuni gani ya kibinafsi Tanzania ina uwezo wa kujenga branch ya reli ya over 120km? Kwanza vile mna madini mengi mbona hakuna hata kampuni moja iliwekeza kwa reli yao ya kusafirisha madini?
In future inafaa kama Kuna kampuni (e.g Tata chemicals) inataka ku operate treni yake kwa SGR, waruhisiwe alafu wawe wanalipa annual maintenance fee, this is how we make the railway timeless.

SMH Rail chairman and managing director Datuk PK Nara said the first batch of the locomotives would be delivered to Tanzania Railways Corporation which had placed the order based on funding support from the World Bank.
KUALA LUMPUR: SMH Rail Sdn Bhd has today unveiled its newly-manufactured locomotives and is poised to ship the first batch to its maiden export market soon.
The "H10 Series" of locomotives was built with advanced technology to reduce emission with "Towards Green Mobility" tagline, said SMH Rail, a rolling stock manufacturer and maintenance service provider.
SMH Rail chairman and managing director Datuk PK Nara said the first batch of the locomotives would be delivered to Tanzania Railways Corporation which had placed the order based on funding support from the World Bank.
"I am confident that these locomotives will bring enormous economic benefits to the African rail cargo industry.
"It is efficient in bridging connectivity, increases supply-chain access, accelerates industrialisation and promotes cross-border trade," Nara said at the virtual launch today.
He added that with more than 60 per cent of its content locally-manufactured in Malaysia, the H10 Series marked a cornerstone achievement of SMH Rail in the global rail industry.
SMH Rail said the H10 Series locomotives provided an intrinsic value to the environment and railway ecosystem together with innovation in design engineering that will fuel green operations.
"The H10 Series locomotives that were manufactured locally not only showcases Malaysia's expertise in rolling stock market but has also earned recognition by The Malaysian Book of Records as the 'First Made in Malaysia Locomotive' for the export market."
The company added that the H10 Series can potentially replace 100 cargo trucks, reduce carbon emissions by up to 75 per cent, lower highway congestion, and was four times more fuel-efficient than road freight transport on average.
"Its practical design ensures high reliability and availability for improved operational efficiency, increased haulage capacity and reduction of maintenance challenges, resulting in lower overall life cycle costs."
SMH Rail said with rapid growth in transport solutions, the H10 Series locomotives would enable a vision towards the future that is clean, fast and green.
The company added that it would continue to leverage opportunities and partnerships to develop its national and global footprint.

The locomotive features a practical design which ensures high reliability and availability for improved operational efficiency, increased haulage capacity and reduction of maintenance challenges, resulting in lower overall life cycle costs.
The dual cab H10 Series locomotive is compliant with UIC standards and is designed for heavy haulage and uninterrupted long-haul services.
One of its main features is its capability to operate in challenging terrains and weather conditions. The locomotive is equipped with remote monitoring and diagnostics to provide real-time updates to operators to allow them to monitor performance remotely including speed, maintenance needs, fuel consumption and fault alerts. It supports data analysis that tracks negligent handling, reduces risk of failures and improves operational safety.
The first batch of Co-Co locomotives will be delivered to Tanzania Railways Corporation, which placed the order after receiving funding support from the World Bank.
“I am confident that these locomotives will bring enormous economic benefits to the African Rail cargo industry,” says SMH Rail chairman and managing director, Mr P K Nara. “It is efficient in bridging connectivity, increases supply-chain access, accelerates industrialisation and promotes cross-border trade.

Malaysia-made locomotives on global rail map
By MENG YEW CHOONG
- NATION
- Saturday, 21 Aug 2021
Several units of the made-in-Malaysia H10 diesel locomotive will be sent to Tanzania in September under an export deal.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia is now officially an exporter of heavy locomotives to the world with the successful launch of the H10 Series by SMH Rail Sdn Bhd.
The feat, now listed in the Malaysia Book of Records as the “First Locally Manufactured Locomotive for Export”, means Malaysia is now on the global rail map with its ability to export diesel electric locomotives used for the bulk of rail cargo transport all across the developed world.
The Malaysian-manufactured H10 Series is proof of local capability in putting together a sophisticated product that will serve the demanding requirements of moving heavy cargo across long distances with a high degree of reliability.
“The H10 Series locomotives provide an intrinsic value to the environment and railway ecosystem together with innovation in design engineering that will fuel green operations,” said Datuk PK Nara, chairman and managing director of SMH Rail at the virtual launch of the H10 at its plant in Rasa, Selangor, yesterday.
“The Malaysian-made H10 Series locomotives showcase Malaysia’s expertise in the rolling stock market, and is four times more fuel efficient than road freight transport on average,” said Nara.
The product incorporates the latest technology to deliver the best fuel and operational efficiency, he added.
SMH Rail’s success is reflected by it clinching several export deals for 15 of these locomotives in contracts costing around RM200mil.
For example, Tanzania will receive several units of the H10 next month as the African country embarks on a modernisation drive for rail infrastructure, including the procurement of the latest rolling stock.
“The export of the H10 to Tanzania Railways Corporation is a significant achievement considering that it has ambitions to become a regional rail hub, and its decision to procure the H10 with World Bank funding speaks volumes of the trust in the product.
“I am confident that these locomotives will bring enormous economic benefits to the African rail cargo industry.
“It is efficient in bridging connectivity, increasing supply-chain access, accelerating industrialisation and promoting cross-border trade,” said Nara.
He revealed that the diesel engine that powers the H10 with an output of 3,300hp is sourced from its global technical partners.
The expertise in putting together a reliable diesel electric locomotive goes way beyond just the engine, and SMH’s determination to integrate all components seamlessly has led it to produce the first truly Malaysian-designed, -engineered and -manufactured diesel electric locomotive for the export market.
The H10’s fuel efficiency ensures “high reliability and availability for improved operational efficiency, increased haulage capacity and reduction of maintenance challenges,” said Nara.
“The H10 Series marks a cornerstone achievement for our company in the global rail industry,” he said, as it is more than 60% locally manufactured.
In its journey over two decades, SMH Rail has emerged as Malaysia’s leading rolling stock manufacturer and maintenance, repair and overhaul service provider with presence in more than 20 countries.
“We have been working closely with our partners from both the local and global railway industry building up to the launch the H10 Series.
“Its practical design ensures high reliability and availability for improved operational efficiency, increased haulage capacity, and reduction of maintenance challenges, resulting in lower overall life cycle costs,” said Nara.
