Reason one:imepitia national park so they had to maintain the migration routes of wild animals hence the tunnels there4 the elevation

Btw once the railway line is complete, does it mean that one can stay in mtito n commute to msa daily for work?

not tunnels for elevation but pillars,they also want to avoid wild animals fatalities

Because of wildlife…they do not want to inhibit the movements of animals

Hapo ni Tsavo river bridge. Huko kwingine haiko na pillars.

The SGR is designed in a way that, the rail line maintains a certain level (making as flat as possible) from Mombasa to Nairobi, i.e the train should not be hitting sharp inclinations and declinations.

Sadness of life.
In the 70s and early 80s wild animals zile kua ata zafunga barabara. Siku hizi ata hapo manyani ni ngumu kupata hizo apes, poachers have really fvcked us hkm. Ata zebras huoni wacha the big 5

The elevation is to cause as little interupption as possible to the biodiversity and to maintain migratory paths for wildlife btwn the Tsavo East and West and Nairobi National park on the areas that do not pass through the park…it’s going to be fenced off because the trains will be travelling at very high speeds…hamna kupigiwa horni(but kutakuwa na tunnels of bridges at intervals watu kupita

Fare will not be very cheap…Halafu pia schedules za train can be tricky Maybe 2 or 3 paassenger trips per day
