Veterans of Tasmanian Steam
Two grand old ladies, MV Cartela built in 1912 and Preana built in 1896. Cartela is currently undergoing restoration to be returned to steam power and Preana is restored and available for charter trips.


The West Coast Wilderness Railway runs between Queenstown and Strahan. Its three locomotives are the original ones used by the Mt Lyell Railway Company to service the mines. All were built inbetween 1896-98


Fascinating history and wonderful photos. Thanks for joining the challenge!

The departing train is my favourite because of how motion, sound, and action are all implied. Nicely captured!
