Rebuilding pillars reroutes Dar-Morogoro SGR test drive
INITIAL test drive on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line slated for August will not start from the Dar es Salaam station as planned due to the need for rebuilding of some pillars in the city.
Briefing Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa who toured the project in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Tanzania Railways Corporation (TRC) managing director Masanja Kadogosa said that the drive will start at Pugu station on the outskirts of the city.
“There are some pillars at Kamata area that are being rebuilt to meet agreed standards,” he said, noting that reconstruction will be completed by December and the drive will then start at Dar es Salaam station.”
Kadogosa said SGR construction from Morogoro to Dodoma will also be completed by August, with wagons and locomotives set to arrive in Dar es Salaam by July 15.
Construction of the Dar es Salaam-Morogoro section stands at 91 percent, where a small portion had been commissioned, meanwhile as engineers at the Dar es Salaam station (renamed Tanzanite) were finalizing the installation of communication systems, the premier was told.
When the station starts operation it will have floors with shops, bank outlets, restaurants, a VIP lounge, Immigration Department offices along with four hostels and minibars, he said.
The station is designed to be a business center with 40 percent of its investments targeting the private sector, he stated, while the premier highlighted a number of business opportunities for local investors interested in the business spot.
The PM assured the public that all major projects taking place including SGR will be completed on the specified time frame, as the government was well organized in supervising the construction progress.
“I assure you that funds do not pose problems. We have the funds to complete all the projects taking place in different parts of the country to bring about development,” he declared.
Supervision also intends to ensure value for money in all the projects, he said, expressing satisfaction on the progress reached in the standard gauge railway project, praising the TRC management and board foir the good work done.
On January 20, 2016, it was reported that the then Railway Assets Holding Co. Ltd (RAHCO) before merging with TRC floated a tender for the supply of electric trains to be used on the SGR line, still in the early stages of construction.
The overall assets holder was seeking the supply, testing and commissioning of 14 electric locomotives for freight trains and five electric multiple units (EMU).
An EMU is an electric passenger train that has self-propelled carriages which use electricity as the locomotive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages.
RAHCO was also looking for the supply of three electric locomotives for departmental trains, 15 first class coaches and 45 economy class coaches., the reports said.
The tender notice informed that the government, through RAHCO, had already set aside funds in the financial year 2017/18 for the purchase of the rolling stock.
“The funds would be used to cover eligible payment under the contract for supply, testing, commissioning and training of rolling stock for the railway system to operate in the Tanzania central railway corridor, ”it affirmed .

Better in what way? Both passenger train travel at a speed of 120km/h even though the one in Ethiopia has never passed 60km/h because they didn't fence their track just like Tanzania.
The cargo trains za Kenya are doing double stacking, Ethiopian one doesn't do just like yours. Below are images of passenger trains from both countries.

Nothing wrong with benchmarking, I don't see a thing wrong with having additional information to add up onto what you have. The fundamental issue should be, will they implement.
