Nairobi by lofi train

What you see from the train

Nairobi is stop 57 of 62 on the route, between Cape Town and Addis Ababa. The train arrives from Cape Town through steppe, stops at an illustrated station with the city's name over the doors, potted plants and lamps along the platform, and leaves for Addis Ababa through mountains. Inside the carriage nothing changes: Toffee keeps coding and Cloud keeps reading.

The Nairobi track

This station has no track of its own yet, so the leg plays tracks from the main library: soft instrumental lofi at 62–79 BPM, written as code in Strudel.

Real local time and live weather

The light outside the window follows Nairobi's real clock: day, dusk or night, depending on where the sun is over the city right now. The weather on the stream is the live weather there, so rain in Nairobi means rain on the window. When the train is somewhere else on its 62-station loop, the mini-map shows where.
