  The Nairobi airport rail link is an infrastructure project in Nairobi, in Kenya.
  
  The government of Kenya has proposed a rapid rail connection between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and central Nairobi. As of October 2010, construction was under way, and tenders had been awarded. The project costs 800 million shillings ($US9.13m), and involves 2 km of new rail to connect to the existing railway at Embakasi
  
  ## Stations
  
  The line will likely begin at the existing Nairobi Railway Station along an existing line to and a 2 km extension to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
  
  There are number of stations and stops along the current rail route to Embakasi:
  
  * Makadara Railway Station - existing station
  * Donholm Rail Stop - minor stop
  * Stage MPYA Rail Stop - minor stop
  * Pipeline Rail Stop - minor stop
  * Embakasi Railway Station - existing station
  
  Both Makadara and Embakasi stations will be rebuilt for airport link and all other stops either removed or rebuilt.
