I loved reading the story about "the lunatic express", the Nairobi-Mombasa train.

I took a train from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Slow and decrepit. No first class even if you wanted to. However, they sold beer on board at prices that were cheaper than even a supermarket. We finished their entire supply. Opted not to take the train in Tanzania. There were no other options for trains at other times.
