They wrote #6.20k and yet they are selling for #1050, chai Nigeria. Oh well its still safer hopefully and more comfortable.

They name each engine with the name of our founding fathers, this coach belongs to ..... Ahmadu Bello

Office buildings in the train terminal. ...

Nice! I just return from a trip by train from the north yesterday

We are already moving through Enugu town. ....

The seats have numbers. .....

We didn't stop at the timber shed train stop.......

Is the vibration much? Is the payment for ticket via cash?

We are still moving slowly, not much vibrations or noise, when the speed increases I will see the noise levels. The payment is by cash only.

Passing through the timber shed.

To a new train traveller it is called transformation. But to me nothing has change, the greatest undoing of the Yar'adua/GEJ govt is stopping the construction of the standard gauge rail line and reconstructing the old narrow gauge line.

Is the Abuja - Kadunna not standard gauge?

Please stop misinforming the public. Standard gauge rail construction is ongoing.
