KENYA TO HAVE HIGH SPEED RAIL BEFORE U.S. WHILE U.S. INFRASTRUCTURE CRUMBLES!! GOOD JOB CONGRESS!!! NOT! While China is building high speed rail networks around the world the U.S. can only offer Kenya a drone base. While Kenyan’s are about to get high speed rail, Americans find their roads and bridges collapsing around them. China has signed a deal to build a 480km railway link between Kenya’s largest seaport of Mombasa and the capital Nairobi — the first stage of a line that will eventually link Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan. The railway, built at a cost of US$3.8 billion, is the first to be built in Kenya in a century and will be designed with a transportation capacity of 25 million metric tons, based on China’s rail standards. China is in talks with other countries concerning the construction of 20 high-speed rail projects. Under the “one belt, one road” initiative, referring to the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road trade route initiatives, China will build a complex network of high-speed rail passing through the whole of Asia.January 22, 2015 / D.Collins / No comments While China is building high speed rail networks around the world the U.S. can only offer Kenya a drone base.
