Remarks & Notes

The Garratts of the class 59 of the East African Railways were the largest narrow gauge locomotives ever built. The 34 "Mountain" class (all with names of african mountains) locomotives were built in 1955 by Beyer Peacock mainly for the mainline from Mombasa to Nairobi and capable of pulling 1200 ton trains on grades of 1.5 %. # 5930 "Mount Shenega" is preserved in Nairobi Railway Museum, while 5918 "Mount Gelai" is operational again since 2005. The huge engine is on the way from the workshop to Nairobi station for a chartered train for Geoff's Trains/Tanago.
