Thanks norts. Similar technology to the Abt railway between Queenstown and Strahan, that method having its origins in the mountainous regions of Europe.
Probably the only practical way of getting up the mountain back in the day. I like the way they levelled the boiler on the loco to match the gradient.
Yes I'm probably a bit of a train tragic Greg.
