The Railway in Kenya

travelling by rail in Kenya is great.

though this rail was built more than a century ago by the British explorers. i am told it was completed in the early 1900.



the government has been thinking of changing the face of this rail for a while now. it seems a lot is needed to be done to make this one look like the great railways linking London and Paris and those railways in the cities of Moscow and Singapore. i loved traveling 'under' the roads, buildings, etc. while i was there. it was cool.

the ones in Kenya are a favorite for tourists who love to travel on them as they remember the exploration times of the first explorers. i took these pics in Kisumu where i had taken Siele to get some government documents. it was his first time to be there. here is a slide show of the railway in Kisumu and Siele.



i've also included information here about the rift valley railways.

have a great day and God Bless
