The contractor will drill a 5Km tunnel on the Nairobi-Naivasha section. Surely this deserves a docu even for archives sake.


Which section exactly is the tunnel gonna be?
Descending the kikuyu escarpment gave the colonialist a hard time as the lunatic line had to meander on so much from uplands through kijabe mpaka huko munyu karibu na Mai mahiu.


Okay. You younsters have not been on a Kenyan passenger train then. There exists a tunnel on the current line somewhere near Matasia. Could be the same spot.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

I think you are mixed up or out rightly lying to us.
For starters, I was literally born on the railway trucks in a town called Menengai (between Rongai and Nakuru, na sio Ongata Rongai).

I have used the Kenyan trains for 1001x1001 times...what I know is the tunnel between Muguga and Limuru railway station and the one between Lumbwa and Fatana stations (i.e Kipkelion and Fort Ternan)

Unlike google, i have to remember since it's close to 35 years since i used the line last. At least the tunnel is a station away and you didn't seem to know until now.smile
