In fact for double track you can close a section for maintenance without affecting biashara, even in times accident! But walikataa kuinvolve seasoned welders like us! Ethiopia were only doing a city light track and the distance was only 34Kms If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

We'll just call the lunatic operators from retirement!
