Photos of Nairobi's container terminal taken by John Ashworth around 1996 or '97

Is this terminal big? Compared to Capital Park, how big?

I was looking at it just two weeks ago from the Mombasa Road but can't remember exactly! I think it has only a two or three track loop in it. It's probably not as busy as Capital Park container yard, but it does have big cranes. Much of the container traffic would be through traffic for Kampala, so presumably it wouldn't use this facility.

Incidentally these pictures were taken from the train.
