SGR (Standard Gauge Railway)

The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is a modern train network that uses a specific track width called standard gauge, which is 1,435 millimeters apart. It is designed for faster, more efficient passenger and freight transport over long distances. SGR typically features faster trains with smoother rides, reduced travel times, and improved safety compared to older rail systems. It connects key regions, boosting trade, economic growth, and regional integration by providing reliable and cost-effective transportation. Essentially, SGR is Kenya’s high-speed rail project aimed at modernizing the country's rail infrastructure for improved mobility and economic development.
