Kenya’s Standard Gauge
Railway
(SGR)
In 2017, the new 480-kilometre Mombasa-Nairobi railway was opened. Before then, the only transport links between Mombasa, Kenya’s main port, and Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, were rough roads and an old railway line completed in 1901.The old trains were very slow. It took 10 hours to get to Nairobi from Mombasa by train.
However, the new railway, built with China’s help, has already cut the travel time between Mombasa and Nairobi to about five to six hours for passengers. Now, more than two million people use it every year.
Local Kenyans have benefited a lot from the new railway. A government worker said, “I’m very happy with the new railway built by our Chinese friends. Many changes have taken place in the town over the last few years, and the people who live here have become rich.” A businessman said, “My experience of using the train since 2017 has been good. It is very convenient and doesn’t cost much money. I am able to get to places on time and make business deals with ease. ” The railway has also made the transport of food easier. “It used to take hundreds of lorries to carry food between the two cities, but now it takes only two or three trains” said a supermarket manager. As a result, people now have more fresh food to eat.
Although China and Kenya are far away from each other, the railway shows how different countries can work together to build a better world.
