Nanyuki train stalls with 1,500 on board

Kenya Railways MD Phillip Mainga said one of the trains stopped after the crew noted an issue.

One of two passenger trains from Nanyuki to Nairobi temporarily stalled yesterday at Ruthagati with more than 1,500 passengers on board. The first passenger train had left the Nanyuki station at 12:30pm and the second at 1:30pm. Kenya Railways MD Phillip Mainga said one of the trains stopped after the crew noted an issue. “The crew noticed a mechanical issue with the train that is why they stopped to address it. However, they resumed their journey without more hitches," he said.
