The Old Nairobi Railway Station is the original metre-gauge station associated with the Uganda Railway (completed circa 1901) and is linked to Nairobi's founding as a railway town. Sources identify the station as part of the older Kenya Railways precinct near the city centre and note its heritage and tourism visibility (it is listed among railway stations in Kenya and appears in travel/attraction lists). The 2017 completion of the Mombasa–Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway and the new Nairobi Terminus at Syokimau have largely superseded the metre-gauge services, shifting primary passenger operations away from the old station and making it emblematic of an earlier era of Kenyan rail transport. The supplied research notes contain no accounts of hauntings, apparitions, unexplained sounds, named spirits, or other paranormal phenomena tied to the Old Nairobi Railway Station. No local folklore or supernatural entities associated with the station are documented in the provided sources. Where sources mention the site as an attraction (for example, a listing of Instagrammable places that names the railway station and a railway museum), that implies contemporary cultural or visitor interest but does not verify an active museum or any paranormal claims. Because the source set is silent on supernatural matters, this entry records the absence of documented paranormal phenomena rather than asserting any hauntings.
