Summary:
"This second book looks at each of those sawmills equipped with a locomotive worked logging tramway system on the northwest and central coast regions. Each sawmill and associated tramway are described in detail. Profusely illustrated with over 300 photographs, many never previously published, and a number of original builder's plans thought to have been lost, this second volume brings to light for the first time a comprehensive account of the logging tramway systems worked by a locomotive (of sorts) once found on the northwest coast and central coast regions of Tasmania between 1873 and 1967."--Dust jacket gate fold.
