In 1868 A British Military Expedition led by General Napier built a 21-kilometer railway from Zula to kumaile. They used the short railway to transport their Elephants, donkeys, and their army personnel to a long journey of 600 kilometers inside Ethiopia, namely the province of Gondar in northwest Ethiopia, to fight against King Tewodros the then Emperor of Ethiopia.
