Descrizione

www.greywall.demon.co.uk/rail/Kenya/nrm.html: The museum was established in 1971 by the then East African Railways and Harbours Corporation to preserve and display relics and records of the railways of East Africa from their inception to the present day. In addition to the collection of steam locomotives and rolling stock, there is a large display of smaller exhibits and models.

The Museum is still rail-connected, allowing restored locos access to the main line for working steam excursions.

With the privatisation of Kenya Railways, the Museum and exhibits have been transferred to the guardianship of the National Museum of Kenya. The curator of the museum is now Maurice Barasa, an anthropologist by training and who brings expertise in museum management. His father was a stationmaster on Kenya Railways, so he has a family connection with his new duty. He is keen to see more steam tourist trains and will have meetings with Rift Valley Railways in due course, about making formal arrangements for steam operation and promotion.

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi:
Nairobi Railway Museum er et jernbanemuseum i Nairobi, Kenya, beliggende like inntil Nairobi jernbanestasjon. Museet ble åpnet av East African Railways and Harbours Corporation i 1971, men drives i dag av Kenya Railways. Museets sporområde er sammenkoplet med jernbanens operative nett, og samlingen inneholder blant annet tre damplokomotiv som ved spesielle anledninger benyttes til utflukter. I den senere tid (januar 2011) har museet også åpnet en modelljernbane.
