Kenya: The Standard Gauge Railway Takes Shape

The Standard Gauge Railway is rapidly taking shape, transforming the landscape and livelihoods.

21 campsites have been put up along the route, each supervising the works on a particular section. Two factories have also been opened to supply the sleepers and T-Beams – for supporting bridges.

Bridges will account for 30 km of the 609 km line, including a 2km bridge over Tsavo River. Several other bridges will be built in Tsavo to allow the elephants to pass under the line. Each of these will be 7 metres high and 50 metres long.

The Sh 345 billion project is scheduled for completion in June 2017. It will carry freight trains at a speed of up to 80km/h and passenger trains at a maximum speed of 120km/h.

We have some pictures showing some of the progress.

I just dont like Kenyans period. They are the most hypocrites creatures of our time. Yaani if I were a president even for Two hours, my first operation i would have commanded would have been "Operation rudisha nyang'au".

Wakenya mmechelewa sana sisi tunayo ya zaidi ya Kilomita 1,000 hiyo reli ya Kichina toka 70s.

Sasa tunakuja na kitu kipya kabisa, kipo njiani.
