Hi John,
Thank you for these pictures. Nice to see that the token exchange still works.
And I didn't know that some people in Kenya live so close next to the tracks.

When you passed this area, what was your speed then? I assume not mire than 20 or 30 km/h or I'm totaly wrong?

Correct, Andreas, it was slow. However we kept going steadily, as if the driver was absolutely confident that people would move out of his way and he wouldn't need to stop.
