The Kenya Railways has issued a statement after a cargo caught fire in Sagana, Murang'a county. According to Kenya Railways, the fire on the petroleum train from Nanyuki to Nairobi was caused by an electric fault in the train's engine. "The fire was caused by a slight electric fault in the locomotive engine and has since been contained. Our engineers arrived at the area promptly and rectified the problem," Kenya Railways tweeted on Sunday. In January, a Nairobi bound train stalled in Ruthagati, Nyeri after it developed a mechanical problem.
