This restaurant car has really deteriorated since I photographed it about 3 years ago - see here. Once the roof rotted through the rest followed quickly.
The good news is that there's a possibility of this car being restored and operated by a hotel company.

Re: Nairobi Railway Museum: restaurant car decay
Unbelievable that it is the same car.
Restoration will cost now much more than 3 years ago.
I think it's really a wonder that someone is willing to restore that car.
I hope they will do it.
By the way, the signs in the other thread are funny. I think lots of people became ill. :-)
