Kenya Railways is reviving a century-old metre-gauge railway line connecting Voi to the Tanzanian border at Taveta, a development poised to revolutionize cross-border trade in East Africa.

• The 127-kilometre line has been largely idle since 2005.
• This strategic revitalization is spearheaded by President William Ruto and Kenya Railways Corporation.
• The project aims to create a seamless logistics corridor, linking cargo from the SGR at Voi to Tanzania and beyond, boosting trade for sectors like sisal and mining.
