would upload this very brief and fuzzy clip to Youtube.

It was taken in 1954 and 1955 and it appears that two different trips from
Nairobi to Mombasa have been spliced together as we start with a 58 at
Nairobi and later a 59 appears.

There is also a very brief glimpse of what must have been a brand new 5904
Mount Elgon arriving at Athi River
