Josh Friedman introduces Tanzania's Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project and interviews Tanzania Railway Corporation Engineer Tadei, the deputy project manager for the first phase of the railway construction that will link Dar es Salaam's Indian Ocean port to the city of Morogoro. Upon completion, the railway will link Dar es Salaam to the Lake Victoria port city of Mwanza and then eventually to neighboring countries in East and Central Africa. Stay tuned for more reports on the project.
