OBAMA DINED ON KENYAN TRAIN

Posted on 23 April 2009 by Railways Africa Editor

In his autobiography “Dreams from My Father,” US president Barrack Obama recounts an overnight rail journey from Nairobi to Kisumu on Lake Victoria. Describing the dining saloon he writes: “The car was a picture of faded elegance… the food was just fine, though, and the beer served cold, and by the end of the meal I was feeling content.” He clearly enjoyed his trip.
