Generally hizi high speed trains sio za common mwanaichi they target the business class na watu wa holiday who donāt want to fly coz hustle za airport huwa ni mingiā¦u remember when the syokimau train first started they used to charge almost 200

Not sure what the future speeds will be, or eventually SGR will end up as both double decker train and a double decker container train.
Trust me on this. Those high pillars are there to reduce the angle of inclination and declination.
The subgrade will usually Do that wellā¦the terrain in this section is mostly flatā¦they plan for the passenger trains to be doing 120kph while 80kph for the cargo

Nice to see you buddy, A4, let me ask again, why is SGR elevated.

si level, ni gradientā¦imagine a rail with steep gradient, there is high possibility of the coaches derailingā¦
african countries should be very wary of these infrastructure projects leading directly to the portā¦ ndio zitatumiwa kuwapora mali mspokaa chonjo

Thanks, gradient was the word I was looking for.
Thatās why they built the original rail. To transport their plunder.
HEHEHEā¦umeongea kama one old man mzee ole Ntimamaā¦when we were doing the Mai-Mahiu-Narok Road in 2006, he asked the maasai in the area to oppose the project since according to him, the road once complete would be used by āpeopleā from Nairobi to carry Maasai cattle to Nairobi. He further argued that ngāombe hawezi anguka barabarani juu eti the road is delapidatedā¦JINGA!
One of the reasons it had to be standard gauge is to allow doble-stacking of containers.
ebu read about the zambian/tz railway built by the chineseā¦ that railway is used to transport raw copper from the copper mines in zambia directly to daresalaam and then shipped to chinaā¦ those mine workers keep striking all the time coz of unpaid wagesā¦ yaani ata watu wa mikono hawafaidikiā¦ same shit in ivory coastā¦ the common men live in slums watching highways, railways and high voltage power lines passing over them yet they never see their benefitsā¦ same script everywhere
That has got nothing to do with the railway, thatās all about skewed trade deals and poor wage agreements!? Those things can happen regardlessā¦
this has nothing to do with infrastructure but shallow and corrupt government officials that come up with policies and sign up to agreements that disadvantage the rest of the country. Hata kama ingekua bara bara ya murram bado resources zingebebwa
hebu nipe link ya hii story tafadhali angalau mimi pia ni chanuke
The main reason why the railway line iko first floor ni kuprevent watu kungāoa reli kama vile walivyo fanya kule kibera wakati wa PEV
Unless a country manufactures/produces high value stuff all its trade deals are skewed by defaultā¦ it has no power at all when negotiating anythingā¦ ukijaribu kukataa unaambiwa āweāre not giving you aidāā¦
A developing country should put all itās time, energy and resources in industrializing itself (and i donāt see this happening in kenya) so that it can be respected and have a say in world matters. And ofcourse it solves the problem of unemployment and povertyā¦

@meriamata I usually tell people that Kenya leading families have deep stakes in the transportion business and they will not take this SGR thing lying downā¦the same way they made skewed policies to kill Kenya Railways and made sure it was inefficient as possible is the same thing that they will try to do to the SGR ā¦we will need a magufuli as president when that time comes
