Am sure the answer will be there will be an inter-change along the way but it will need a very complex management unless we are talking about 10 trains. But if we get to kitu 30 40 huko, tutakuwa na corrishons kama za shyna.


There will be on board GPS tracking system on all trains using the track and each trains will be able to communicate and warn the drivers if the section is not clear.
This will supplement the usual "line clear" management system currently employed worldwide!



Thanks @impunity. Waiting to see that happen. There have been train accidents world over and hope this will not happen in Kenya. I still wonder why the "two way rail" was never thought out.This single rail can do in areas that are not busy but on such a track Pray Pray Pray This is 327B rail.


@Kiash, hiyo mambo ya two-track parallel rail vis-a-vis 327B tuliongererea in 2013 mpaka wale watu wa ile pande ingine wakatushinda...Ethiopia is doing a double track at a much lessor cost per mile than Kenya but we were told to accept and move on since pesa haikuwa ya nyina zetu.
Managing singol track is very difficult and pron to accident especially in high traffic areas.
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?

Phase 2 of SGR to Kisumu to start in July 2015

Quote:
Initially planned for Malaba, the termination point is now to be at Kisumu on Lake Victoria with the new route gaining preference as it offers “the port with the shortest access to East Africa Community.

Not difficult.... In the 70s and 80s, the lunitic line was handling over 20 departures from NBI & MSA daily! We'll just call the lunatic operators from retirement!

What was the cost per kilometer?

It doesn't matter even if the distance was one millimeter! #NAC.

To kisumu? Is it safe given that during protest, the railway line could be uprooted. The government would have stuck with the Malaba line.
