On February 5, 2024, Kenya Railways enhanced its freight services by introducing 50 new wagons. The event was held at the Port Reitz Freight Station. The acquisition of these wagons is part of Kenya Railways' ongoing efforts to address the growing demand for higher-capacity cargo transport solutions. By increasing the efficiency and reliability of freight services, Kenya Railways seeks to support the country's economic development and meet the transportation needs of the logistics sector.
Adding the new wagons is expected to play a crucial role in facilitating trade and logistics, contributing to a seamless flow of goods through rail transport. This investment is aligned with the government's vision for a modern and efficient transport system that supports the country's growth and development.
Kenya Railways operates freight transport services on the metre gauge and standard gauge railway networks. These services extend to neighbouring countries, including Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Burundi, underscoring the regional importance of Kenya's rail infrastructure in facilitating cross-border trade and logistics.
