West Coast Wilderness Railway, Tasmania

Turn on subtitles for more information. The West Coast Wilderness Railway runs from Queenstown to Strahan, Tasmania, and is a reconstruction of the former Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company railway along the same route. The railway originally opened in 1897 to transport copper from the mine in Queenstown to the markets. The railway is narrow gauge, built to a track width of 3 ft 6 in, or 1067 mm. The railway utilises an Abt rack and pinion system to climb the gradients, some as steep as 1 in 15. The railway has three functional locomotives, ABT1, ABT3 and ABT5. The locomotive operating on the day was ABT3, nicknamed "Black Beauty". On the day, the train operated as far as Dubbil Barril where the locomotive was turned on the manual turntable for the journey back to Queenstown.
