PHOTOS: The standard gauge railway is now taking shape

The standard Gauge railway is rapidly taking shape and a good report can be derived from the transforming landscape and livelihoods. 21 campsites have been erected along the route in order to ease supervision in every section where work is in progress. Two factories have been started in order to supply the sleepers and T-beams for supporting bridges.

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