Is there any other monuments to show that the line passed at those points?
And make another railway station at Norfolk when its only 3 minutes away from the main station?
Do you have any rink to all these claim or some old Gregorian maps?





You can see the railway line parallel to Princess Elizabeth Way [Uhuru Highway]

lemmie see.
Whitehouse road >> present day harambee avenue
St,stephen's church>> Catholic church opposite Intercon
Historic nbo must be where the Intercon stands.

From this pic ,I can deduce the railway line cut through KICC grounds on the opposite side of parliament from sheria house passed through the church grounds,GPO,museum hill up to westie.

wow.

You can still read those 'things' online and pretend you're old... Venye naona hakuna Ipo maybe listing via introduction.
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Did you also dance Matumbulu?
I'm told it was kind of a huge speaker placed somewhere on the street where you insert a coin and select your type of song and there you go!!!
You dance mpaka long'i iraruke.

Had to log in to answer this. It seems no one knows why the railway line had to be moved from passing through west land. One of the governs or a minister was so used to tell is wife is so powerful in the government, then the locomotives used to make a lot of noise for her at night, she ordered her husband if is powerful to move that thing from passing through west lands thus why it was relocated. Am sure of this but cant remember the name of the officer.
