Imagine the economic potential an affordable train line would have for a lot of these countries.

Hey Jason! How are you doing? I believe you are absolutely correct, especially to connect Burundi and Rwanda to Tanzania, etc. Fingers crossed that, one day, they can simply jump to having high-speed rail! Thanks for commenting!
