Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

I am your father, kiddo.

Railways in Nigeria consist of a 3,505 km Cape gauge national railway network and 669 km of standard gauge.

Comparable to kenya 2,778 km of MGR with 650km of standard Gauge.

Kazikazi:
Son what is the total distance of Nigerian railway network vs the SA?

Tanzania
Ordinary folks,ordinary living

Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Mr kumakaza whats going on in your country nowadays. Why did you stop posting your BIG BOYS engineering projects and your rundown brt system. To think that Tanzanians of all people thought they'd ever overtake Kenya. Bwahahahaha Bwahahahaha Bwahahahaha.

What's up with you forever posting white chicks. Is it like a status symbol over there or what. Knowing what your women have to offer I really really wonder.......

theenchanter:
tell me any new narrow gauge rail line system under construction anywhere or even SA and I'll leave this cyclic argument.

That being said, ur rail lines were built when narrow gauge was the norm (repeatedly) not really because if terrain! It was easier and inexpensive to build narrow gauge compared to SG, that doesn't mean Standard gauge wasn't in existence then.

South Africa doesn't even have a difficult terrain like ethiopia, yet ethiopia has over 1000km of standard gauge while u have just 80km.

Again, efficiency has nothing to do with guages, it's just about timing.

How do u know Nigeria has no plan for HSR when they're already building it?

- Taroko Express in service 2007
High speed tilt trains that reach 210kmph in Australia, in service from 1998
Transdev Auckland in service from 2016

-NGR is preferred when building in difficult and mountain terrain, its also cheaper and easier to maintain.... For South Africa it makes perfect sense, HSR will be built using SGR.... There are advantages to both.

- South Africa doesn't have difficult terrain?? Dude shut the fvck up .... Also what length is Ethiopias total rail network??

- exactly my point... SGR is just a gauge, doesn't effect efficiency.... So why the fvck must SA build SGR which is more expensive?

- Nigeria is not building any HSR

Vlain:


Nope I put it to u that is barely does up to 70mph. It’s 65mph on a good day and on a bad day we are down to 35mph.




You already said want I want. No one is ready to enter a context on which technology is older. Facts is NGR is inferior to SGR . Now that my friend is the crux of the matter. Quit splitting hairs already,it makes u look pathetic.

-

Will you keep quiet. Ur attempt to hype that refurbished outdated metal is rather hysterical. I am guessing snail -paced passenger train is what we refer to as light rail,u look below and tell me when SA will match this



Pls hush it. You can’t compare whatever u have in SA to Japan. The most part of Japanese rail might be MGR but they supercede most NGR around the globe. They are not the usual conventional NGR. They are using 1067mm (3’6) while the SA and most part of the world adopt 1,435mm(4’8 , 1’2). Couple with the fact that their is electrified. And yes majority of the passenger and freight travel are in SGR. So yeah go figure

Story for the gods.
Bye no one gives a flying fig about ur plans and desires. Make it a reality then that would be worth my time discussing,otherwise eff the fvck up. Thanks

nah, I'm not comparing our railway system..... We're discussing SGR and NGR.

Now crawl back to ur trench.

Vlain certainly was...

If they have a total of 4,100,that is too far from the 35,000 kms in SA.Its incomparable for now,may be in future years if SA stops constructing.

TZ has 2600 narrow gauge,about 1,000 cape gauge,and over 550 of SGR is already constructed, more is under construction. Total for now is about 4,100 and something

Kazikazi:
Son what is the total distance of Nigerian railway network vs the SA?

22000km vs 3600km

But Tanzania SGR is not greenfield like Kenya - it's brown field - you need to substract NGR from that 550.

Why are u crying when u see a white girl? Whenever I post them,a lot of cries and mornings are heard from kibera.

jl115:
22000km vs 3600km

What is a correct figure for SA? I remember you said 36,000 and now 22,000!
Is Nigerian 3600 total network or what?

Kazikazi:

36000kms of track 22000km route....

Mkenya2019:

what are u talking son?
Why should I subtract 550 kms of SGR?
Tanzania's total for now..
2600kms Meter gauge
1,000kms Cape gauge
550 kms,electric SGR,and more under construction

SGR in Dar es salaam

jl115:
36000kms of track 22000km route....

So it is 22,000 vs 3,600 for Nigeria!
I think when nigeraia gets to a half of what SA has,then at least we should think of comparing. And most of SA railway is electric.

I thought SGR is replacing the NGR - it's not greenfield project like kenya - old MGR in kenya runs parrallel to new SGR.

Ok and? still much much less than your terrorist infested country

Haha, I keep hitting your nerves.

Now show Nigeria gun deaths figure as of the month of October, dumbass hunter.

Kazikazi:
Tanzania

Beautiful Tanzanian ladies.

Kazikazi:

46% of SAs railway is electrific

Boko haram alone has killed 350000 Nigerian citizens.... That's nearly 30000 a year, twice as much as in the US, then we haven't even counted the none BH related murders which is another 17000....

jl115:

- "Amtrak operates more than 300 trains each day — at speeds up to 150 mph"..... Also average speed with stops is 84mph......stop your blatant lying!! It's embarrassing..... Now shut the fvck up and get me my links..... Or are you not a man of your word?

Again u lie. For the umpteenth time Amtrak does 65mph not 150mph. There is a difference between doing something and having the ability to do something but not being able to do it for various reasons. Now the later is the case of Amtrak. Amtrak does 65mph from newyork to Boston and this is just a fact no amount of your emotional wailing can alter.

NGR has its advantages just like SGR has its advantages.... The best and most efficient rail network in the world is NGR(Japan)

SGR is better than NGR. This is a fact. Ur constant effort to downplay the obvious modernity and efficiency SGR has over NGR does change anything. Accept and move on

metro rail is 2300kms long.... Abuja light rail 40kms long..... Not to mention these new trains can go as fast as the gautrain and are state of the art trains "The X’Trapolis Mega is equipped with an automatic train operation (ATO) signalling system; this facility enables it to optimally navigate through highly-trafficked networks and reduced the impact of congestion. It has been reportedly designed to serve up to 30,000 passengers per hour in either direction along the network. The design of the train embraces modularity, reliability and high capacity, while the vehicle itself is intended to be applied to suburban and regional transport roles.The Mega can normally attain a maximum service speed of 120km/h, however, it is reportedly possible for the train to be upgraded to be capable of reaching up to 160km/h instead."

Nope u are wrong my laatije , Abuja light rail dies I think 120kmph.Don’t make me laugh,we all know the shinny gautrain would be lucky to do 90kmph from Or-tambo airport down to Pretoria.

Your Abuja light rail has nothing on our new passenger trains

Uhmmmm sorry ,ironically that’s not the case.

-

the majority of japans rail network including freight and passenger services are narrow gauge specifically Cape gauge....

Exactly the same as SA

.... Secondly 50% of South Africas 22000km rail network is electrified..... That's would still put SA as the 12th largest electrified rail network in the world

Uhmmm no,I already told you the specifications.yours like the America’s use (4’8,1’2) the Japanese uses 3’6. Are u enlightened now.

-

we are getting an hsr in 2025...already approved by parliament

Cool story bro..When u get it pls inform me otherwise no one is interested in your dreams and aspirations u til u make it a reality.

jl115:
Naa we just smart with our money no need spending bunch of money on SGR when we can just continue upgrading our NGR network

Nah I would just put it plainly , u are just broke

Mkenya2019:

They dont replace.In most parts it runs parallel.

Very good aerial view of Accra Slumpolis - This one will take forever to fix - but well at least try to plant trees.

Mkenya2019:
Whatever you do - including leaving this argument - please dont compare nigeria with South Africa railway system. It's one of world best. Compare your rail system to kenya.

Just checked RSA has 11th largest world railway system. Just like it's road network. They are miles away - because they have a big minning industry.

Nigeria can get there if it started minning. Otherwise railways are really useless without a mining industry. Light rail in cities yes - but outside that - railway can only be profitable if it carries minerals and unconventional cargo.

Pls try understanding an argument before jumping so ignorantly into it.
The argument started of with US vs China rail system and while the boer was busy on the road meter net trying to scramble for pics(HSR)to defend the US rail system,I told him it’s a futile effort since the IS and SA run on mostly NGR and how china is mostly SGR. One thing led to another and he brought naija into the pics . He has been trying to downplay the modernity SGR has over NGR because SA rarely has those. Maybe that’s where u thought the comparison was. Plus I had already stated SA having one of the world largest rail network when I started this argument. Don’t know where u are going with this

What are you saying?

I was not responding to you. The boer can be a little crazy in defence of things old - because he knows the future is not white . Of course China is miles ahead of everyone. Of course SGR is way better design wise.
