ABSTRACT
The Railway System of Tanganyika Territory consists of a metre gauge railway from. In the report of the Consulting Engineers on the future development of the port a proposed approach railway is shown passing close to Grasse's Shamba and serving the deep-water wharves which it is proposed shall eventually be sited on both sides of Kurasini Creek. This view of Tanga as a subsidiary port was endorsed by the Reports of the Imperial Shipping Committee of 1926 and 1927 on the Harbours of Kilindini and. The Kilosa Fife line will open up areas for European settlement which, although not as large as those on the other route, are only some 100 square miles less, and the Arusha Madukani line, whose construction the author will recommend later in this report, has European settlement as its primary object. The construction of the Iramba Plateau Railway will take two years and of the Sanya – Engare Nairobi line six months.
