A man pushes his motorbike, and another his bike, along the tracks of a railway line on November 7, 2014 in Nairobi. Nairobi was founded in 1899 and grew up around a railway line constructed by the British colonial officials from Mombasa on the Indian Ocean coast to Uganda. The present site of Nairobi was selected as a stores depot, shunting yard and camping ground for the thousands of Indian laborers employed by the British to work on the line.
