Rebuilding the ABT railway from Strahan
Page 2 of a selection of photos taken in August 2001
|On to pictures of ABT railway at Queenstown end|
At the railhead, the excavator lifts the panels...
And puts them in place.
Fallen trees are a common hazard.
Tamper at bridge 31.
One of the highest bridges is this one at Starting Creek
The original bridge still stands next to new bridge No. 30
Train passengers will see the old bridge to the north of the line and....
The King river to the South.
The 12 mile peg (from Queenstown) still stands under bridge 30.
Near the site of Walsh's siding this two foot six inches gauge railway still heads off into the thick scrub.
Final picture...typical scenery of the ABT railway.
