Your ignorance is telling. What does the train running on diesel or electricity have to do with the rail design and capacity??? Both Diesel and electric trains run on Chinese and European railways.
Wallahi Tanaznians and retardation sometimes!!
China Class 1 can run on Electric power.Uganda's side will be electric from the very onset. Kenya already set aside sh 49 billion a long time ago for the electrification on our side.
Yes ,AREMA is civil works.INFERIOR civil works.A simple google search can show the comparison between AREMA and China Class 1 which Kenya has and China Class 2 which Ethiopia has.
For starters, Tanzania's trains will never double stack.Ever. AREMA's civil works do not support such trains. Neither can it handle double engine trains.

A quick google of Kenya's SGR trains can show you that quite often, we double stack. EvenEthiopia's China Class 2 cannot double stack

Do you mean a North American railway industry group, The American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA)?

Yes. AREMA is one of the oldest standards on Earth. They are largely used in the US(You know, the only developed nation without high speed rail and whose high speed rail construction in California does not adhere to the civil works or design of AREMA)
China Class Standards are superior as noted here
