european settlers had two main criticisms of british south africa company railway policy. firstly, that its financial arrangements unfairly benefited the company and its shareholders, and secondly, that the settlers paid for these benefits through exorbitant railway rates. although the allegations were probably ill-founded, they caused tensions between the settlers and the bsac. on the shorter east coast route from beira, running expenses were high because of construction debts and because the mozambique company, which was granted the original concession to build the railway in 1891, imposed a transit duty of up to 3% on goods destined for rhodesia in return for the sub-concession to the beira railway company. from 1914, the european settlers had a majority in the advisory council, and called for the replacement of bsac control of the railways through nationalisation. in 1923 responsible government was achieved, but rather outright nationalisation, the settler government opted for a form of public control under the railway act of 1926. this left bsac as owner of the railways, which were called beira and mashonaland and rhodesia railways until 1927, and rhodesia railways limited after. this remained the situation until 1947, when the rhodesian government acquired the assets of rhodesia railways limited.
