31 Jan 1993.
As it is today, rains were not common in the month of January. Unknown to Kenya Railways, frash rains had hit Mtito Andrei area over night flooding Ngai Ndeithia river. The river is a tributary of Athi-river. The train destined for NBI had passengers on transit to many parts of Kenya. A number of tourists were onboard. The train with over 600 passengers was swept off the track by raging flood crashing the old (1898 built) Ngai Ndeithia bridge. The Engine coach plummeted into the river followed by five carriages with first and second class commuters.
140 persons Kenyan and non citizens died.
Were it not for the quick witted train conductor who pulled the emergency cord that released third class carriages, many more would have perished.
