Freight transport to start between Naivasha and Malaba
Four East African Community Member States joined Kenya and Uganda in developing modern railways as lack of funding remained the main challenge in the construction of SGR from Naivasha onwards.
Freight train services from Naivasha to Malaba via the line linking the Standard Gauge Railway and the Metre Gauge Railway will start in the next two months.
Witnessing a successful transfer of cargo between the two lines at the inland container depot yesterday, Kenya Railways Managing Director Philip Mainga called the transshipment “seamless”.
