This is NAI/MBS rail wapi MBS /NAI rail? They say the passenger train will be doing above 120kph and cargo 80kph . So what happens when the passenger train leaves after the cargo train ?
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.

...Akuku danger was a very respectable person...Good that you get cassava from West Africa. We do not want you to give birth to mongoloids! When I was last there i almost starved! I could not find cassava, cassava leaves, njugu karanga etc. So these days when i am traveling I carry my own stuff to cook up there!!!

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!

Welders, I am sure they have thought about all this. Maybe the budget was the constraint and they will build the 2nd one in a few years. what about the already existing one? will it just be abandoned? ama inang'olewa as they lay the new one? in the meanwhile, a single should do just fine with stations.
