There is a technology we call dual gauge, where the Metre-Gauge rail is superimposed on an SGR so that trains of different sizes can use the same track...its a common practice in Australia and parts of Canada.  Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

This makes alot of sense.. Its the way its done in developed countries, hakuna story ya uproot watu wa Kibera and those on the way-leave (sp)...just superimpose the new SGR on the older track route and save money ans time.

It's important tests are done. Otherwise we might end up with an sgr that is incompatible with our needs. Democracy does not belong to the dead

Engineer! Basics talk of SAFETY first, so the 30m should be free of dwellings or habitation, whether SGR or dual. To answer the question asked before the discussion went south, the SGR is 1,435mm wide, while the narrow/kenyan one is 1,000mm wide.

If people like @Itumbi, @kutuny and @simonkabuga are the key advisors in Jubree gaament then its obvious the gaament could not see this. Taking Art ggraduate teachers as technical advisors...SMH.

Where are all our engineers? Kwani they never learnt that in campus? And am always surprised by the high number of engineers I get to meet in pubs....introducing themselves as sijui eti 'I am Engineer Kilonzo, Engineer Omollo, Engineer Kangethe' etc. They need to give us practical solutions to our problems, not just flaunting their titles in bars.

Wewe ni engineer kweli? Eng Kamau explained this quite well. With all the "sharp bends" of the museum track, will YOUR idea improve the speeds? How about weight issues? The SGR will be near-straight. Elezea, Mr Engineer. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
