If that is the case then I think the slum capital of the world Kenya shouldn't be classified as a country, but a recognized jungle filled with primitives.

u forget that ur best city is made up of 5 mighty giant slums.

adam ya got lost..long time not seen you..

adamskutty:
So what is bad about that?? That Kenya doesn't have worst rail way tracks than Nigeria the last time I checked ur country rail way tracks is the worst in Africa if not the world. how many rail ways can u boast of, completed and under construction?

You are worrying over the wrong things. Wait till you have the misfortune of going to Kubwa station

When you see some of these Nigerian things is when you appreciate being Kenyan.

First pic is their train cabin. The driver is receiving instructions, casually as they come. Compare that with kenyan train cabin crew and how professional they look. I doubt they have any female train pilots. Kenya on the other hand, had to adhere to the constitutional one third (1/3) gender rule. 1 female pilot to every 3 males at the worst. These images give a glimpse of the length that Nigeria has to go to be at par with kenyan standards.

The Nigerian cabin is so small unlike the kenyan one that is spacious. The Naija drivers will be a tired lot.

Nigerians boarding their new SGR train They are pushing to board, I guess they pay from the inside (so you book your space first)

And the guy who was trying to fool me that your SGR is entirely new. Third pic proves you're just being a pathetic liar

Just look at their stewardess?

What is she even doing there? No computers/ seats. Is it even an office ?

Well, the last pic is just for laughs! Those wagons thought they were meeting some new rail Unfortunately, they went to Nigeria

wats there to laugh abt in this pics I don't see anything funny at all

abi is it u we shud laff at

You can't see anything funny being nigerian. Why would people push to board a train when they have a ticket>?

The passenger trains on the line can operate at a speed between 200km/h and 250km/h. The travel time between Abuja and Kaduna will be reduced to one hour and each passenger train can carry up to 5,000 commuters.
http://www.signalng.com/abuja-kaduna-railway-project-facts/

Incase you don't know our railway will stretch over 1000km each. When completed its expected to move between 200km/h - 250km/h.

Below is what was renegotiated with the Chinese early last year. This is completely different with what the previous administration negotiated. Even the narrow gauge rail rehabilitated by last administration is now to be upgraded by General Electric.

Duude, you're talking of the capacity of the rail while we are talking of what is already existing. After electrification our SGR too will travel at 250kph but the current Diesel engines have a 160kph maximum speed with an operating speed of 100kph for cargo and 120kph for passenger trains. The existing trains on Abuja - Kaduna SGR can operate at a maximum speed of 100kph. Learn to differentiate capacity from what's actually on ground. Currently there's no train in Nigeria that moves at 250kph.

how about working harder to assist kenya pay their life time debt to China and stop getting frustrated ur children may have issues in the future if u fail to pay for it now. your project is scam and the world knows that, u keeping bringing terrains , loads of goods when ever u have been busted about the prize ..Nigeria and Ethiopia have same worst terrains but could mange to bargain it with cheaper price and better quality and not rubbish station which can be built by any architects and builder with less than $1million ..." the most import aspect of a sgr is the tracks and trains and not stations as no passenger would want stay in a station for more than 10 minutes "me

Locomotives too cost relatively the same amount. So as a country you can always by new locomotives after a few years, for example Kenya plans to buy new locos by 2020 when the track gets electrified by then theire will be enough power., so thats not that important. The most important aspect of a sgr is the tracks period..
And as far as track is concerened, Building embankment and bridges is the most expensive, Ethiopia has a rough terrain, but they chose their rail to pass though carfully thought out terrains while staying on the ground... While in Kenya, The terrain for the first phase was challenging but not that rough relatively speaking, but on the kenyan side, environmental concerens were given highest priority, thats why Kenya has 30km of brisges while Ethiopia SGR has 18km of bridges, thats half of kenyas bridges..



Then the real reason why Ethiopia (and by extension Nigeria ) rail is cheaper per km is because the ethiopian line was build to lower capacity.... The Ethiopian rail was built to class 2 chinese standards while Kenya Rail was built to class 1 standards....
The Ethiopia rail is cheaper BUT is designed to handle a Maximum of 20 Million tonnes per annaum, it can only carry single stacked containers.

WHile The Kenyan rail is a heavy rail built using heavier steel, it can carry upwards of 35Million tonnes per anum, It can carries double stacked containers or pull 216TEU per train with a load of 4000tonnes


So can you give us the details of axle-load of the Nigeria SGR, whats the maximum tonnage the rail can support? cause from this article it seems to sujjest only 880t per train

The travel time between Abuja and Kaduna will be reduced to one hour and each passenger train can carry up to 5,000 commuters.

The cargo trains, carrying 800t of goods , will take one and half hours to travel between the two cities.
http://www.railway-technology.com/projects/abuja-kaduna-rail-line/

Seems like your rail was designed with carrying persengers in mind, while ours was designed with bulk cargo in mind.

Kenya SGR capacity

These passenger locos will usher Kenya into in a new era, it is the backbone of our future long-distance transport system, linking up more and more, towns, cities and countries,” said Maina, adding the line will significantly cut journey times between Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

SGR will also run freight trains with 54 double stack flat wagons, carrying 216 TEUs (containers) per trip and a trailing load of 4,000 tonnes on each train

At present, the SGR Phase One of the project is in the completion stage of the ancillary works, which include slope protection and drainage systems along sections of the line and fencing of the key facilities in the stations
http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/business/2017/01/sgr-to-carry-1mn-passengers-between-nrb-mbs-annually/

Kenya bought 56 Locomotives, of the 56 only 5 locomotives are for passengers, the rest are for cargo, so its clear that freight will be the main business and thats why a heavier and more expensive rail was needed


look at some of the bridges, some terrains were rough bu in these pictures, you can see that other bridges were build on flat terrain, this was just to allow wildlife to pass through and not hinder their migration routes, thats it, all those bridges just for wildlife

In Africa we have so many of this Cities but we all know some of them will never start, others will never compete and those that will complete they may be enjoyed by the next Generation..

we are proud of what we currently have.. Am really impressed by my fellow kenyans for their maturity...
we have
1.Konza City
2.Tatu City
3.Machakos City
3.Mombasa with some....
4.About 5 counties have such projects..

But no one is talking about this... Coz we love final work

oh, yes..........we love final works too, we have ongoing city projects like
1. eko atlantic city....lagos
2. centenary city.......Abuja
3. eko smart city......lekki, lagos
4. rainbow town....... port-Harcourt
5. cananland city......ogun state
5.kwankwasiyya city...kano state
6. aerotropolis........ anambra.......

oga, the list go on and on.........this are just NEW CITY PROJECTS.

Currently there's no train in Nigeria that moves at 250kph.

The one we have now moves at 160km/h. When the train was launched they used the engine which was used for construction and testing while waiting for the main one to come. Stop posting trash.

“The speed is going to be improved upon from 100 Km/h to 150 Km/h when the passenger locomotives come, say, September, because the locomotive we are using now is the one used for construction.
