West Coast Wilderness Railway.

The West Coast Wilderness Railway is a reconstruction of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company railway in Tasmania between Queenstown and Regatta Point, Strahan. The railway is significant because of its Abt rack system to conquer the mountainous terrain through rainforest, with original locomotives still operating on the railway today. Now operating as a tourist experience with a focus on sharing the history of Tasmania's West Coast, the original railway began operations in 1897 as the only link between Queenstown and the port of Strahan.

We had a great day.

What a great picture of a wonderful little train. It is interesting because, event though the tracks are obviously being used, they still don't look it because they have rust on top instead of being shiny. ~BV~

A wonderful capture of this steam locomotive. You really selected an excellent POV and the steam is an added bonus. VV

Always interesting to see heritage railways in other lands. I have to be several in the UK of course, but just the one overseas - in France.

And of course it is pleasing to see the British connection with the locomotives :)
