Njia ya reli ilikuwa imefika kutoka Mombasa ikaonekana ya kwamba kuanzia hapa kasi ya ujenzi itachelewa kutokana na ugumo na eneo la Bonde la Ufa na mitelemko yake mikali. Mahali palikuwa karibu katikati ya Mombasa na Kampala, palikuwa na maji pakaonekana panafaa kwa kituo njiani. Hasahasa ilionekana tabianchi ya nyanda za juu ilifaa kiafya kwa Waingereza walioteswa na joto la pwani na kwenye nyanda za chini.
