The Chinese-built railway line stretches from Mombasa to Nairobi. The Chinese railway company currently operates the line, and Chinese migrants often fill top jobs. Behind his trucking lot lies a housing complex that was built by the Chinese railway company for its workers. Domestic squabbling, growing concerns about rising African debt and bad regional political relations have seen the Kenyan line stall at Nairobi. How trains on the modern standard-gauge tracks will connect with the old railway line -- which operates on a different type of track -- remains unclear.
