i thnk its premature to compare kenya sgr na tz sgr, bado details nyingi hatuzifaham bado, but with time may be things will be a little clearer, anyway here is a little comparison between kenya sgr and ethiopia.
Railways have classes one two and three.Minimum curve radius - Ethiopia: 2000 m; Kenya 1200 m.
Maximum gradient - Ethiopia: 1.0%, Kenya: 1.2%
Passing loop length for single track sections - Ethiopia: 3 km; Kenya: 1.2 km
Maximum distance between passing loops - Ethiopia: 30 km; Kenya: 30 km
Axle load - Ethiopia: 25 tons; Kenya 25 tons
Rails - Ethiopia: 60 kg/m; Kenya 60 kg/m
Length - Ethiopia: 656 km; Kenya 485 km (not including dual track, loop sections, yard tracks, etc)
Dual Track - Ethiopia: 115 km ; Kenya 0 km
Total budget (including Stations, rolling stock,etc) - Ethiopia: $2.8 billion; Kenya: $3.804 billion
Cost per km - Ethiopia: $4.27 million; Kenya: $7.84 million
My one pence observation, land issues in kenya are a big problem in investment
Tatizo linaijia hapo
