Company Description

Kenya Railways

This is the state corporation responsible for rail transport in Kenya. Established in 1977 after the dissolution of the East African Railways, it manages both commuter and cargo rail services. A key achievement is the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), connecting Mombasa to Nairobi and further to Naivasha, which has significantly improved transport efficiency. The SGR was built to modernize rail infrastructure and reduce road congestion. Kenya Railways also operates the Nairobi Commuter Rail, offering vital public transport within the capital. The company plays a crucial role in regional trade, economic development, and integration within the East African Community.
