West Coast Wilderness Railway

The West Coast Wilderness Railway .

We had selected what we thought to be the best weather for the days we were in Strahan

 to do the Steam Train run from Strahan to Queenstown.

A little Diesel Fired Steam Train.

Looking down into the gubbins you will notice a toothed cog, 

this drives the train through the steep bits.

The early part of the trip was very misty and you could hardly

 tell the difference between the water and the sky!

Is everybody happy...say cheese or sex or whatever!

Got you!

Tea coloured creek running into the chocolate coloured King River.

One of the many trestle bridges.

King River Gorge. The train actually runs along this.

At Dubbil Barril they refilled the water.

After a fabulous trip we came into Queenstown, 

where Thomas the Tank Engine turned round to be ready for the return trip the next day.

We had to get on a coach to get back!

A map of our trip, an amazing trip that showed us the incredible feats of times gone by.

The motto of the company was.

"LABOR OMNIA VINCIT"

OR

"WE FIND A WAY OR MAKE IT"
