Wow! 9:10 Bata Estate in Limuru Town. My childhood place three to four decades back. Never thought i'd see this in a hundred Years! Thanks for such a video. I recall the trains running day and night along this line. And also had a few occasional crashes close to the Limuru Railway station. But everything got back up in a few days or weeks and life went on. Thank you for this. Great memories.

Your silence is so therapeutic - no annoying soundbites and evidently no faces. Just the journey. Add subtitles - there are only two at Nakuru and Kisumu. I was able to grasp Munyu and Gilgil signposts somewhere. It is amazing seeing the crowd towards the end genuinely happy with the train. I definitely travelled with you for the 53 minutes. This is the type I can watch again and again.

Our family took a holiday trip to Mombasa in the mid 1970’s on East African Railways (EAR). The trains were quite grand then. Sleeper cars for overnight, meals served in the dining car. Beautiful. The rail staff were excellent. At the time it was a bit dangerous traveling by train. Villagers would steal pieces of track to make souvenirs to sell such as knives and spears to tourists. Sometimes the trains would derail. 😬

@Ninaform 2 жыл бұрын

That is an amazing insight. I can only imagine the trip and nature during those times. Its unfortunate pieces of rail still get stolen but such instances have been reduced.

I have roots going back to the begining of these railway coaches. We built them at the Derby Carriage and wagon works in the early 1980's along with a similar order for Tanzania. Metro Cammel produced the body shells and we fitted them out. After being made redundant in 1992 I joined up with Voluntary Service Overseas and was selected to be a carpentry instructor at Kisii rehabilitation centre we travelled to Kisumu on the same coaches in first class four per sleeper coach, being served dinner and breakfast during the journey. I went on to marry a Kenyan lady and after moving Back to Derbyshire we went to Nairobi on a visit and travelled down to Mombassa on the Metre guage railway ( Which is now made in China standard guage). splendid experience.

Am always fascinated with stories like this. I always thought the carriages were made in the UK then exported to Kenya. Thank you for the amazing story and I hope to visit Derbyshire and more of England one day. You can checkout my scotland documentary 😎

The revival of this ralway corridor has realy reminded us that we can do it if we have the right leadership..and mindset ..we just need to believe in ourselves, i wonder why the gorvernment had to trust rift Valley railways to do a concession ..... I like the way majority of kenyans respected the railwaycorridor a few seam to think that you can grab railway land and get away with it how do you claim the railway corridor that was there 60rs ago before you were born ...,good to see fencing posts ready to be mounted let's respect gvnt property..even in kisumu and kitale the railway land was reclaimed....na hakuna makesi mingi kama nakuru nyandarua,naivasha ....watu wa Central let's stop hii grabbing mania .was that lake elementaita.? i can identify lanet ,section 58 ,nakuru railway station is unfortunate some poeple had grabbed land next to the ralway and build houses

I wonder what those other rails you see are used for. Kenya really has an extensive rail network that has been dormant for a long time. Sad we did not prioratize rail along time ago and how we let it go down. Hope this time it stays for ever. Just look how happy the people are

Where did you get the idea that SGR was to fit into this line, what does that even mean when all the way from Mombasa, SGR has been built as an independent new corridor on its own?
