West Coast Wilderness Railway Tasmania. Had the pleasure of travelling on this historic train in January 08. Originally called the ABT Railway and built in 1896, it was considered one of the engineering marvels of Australia. Forty two bridges were built over the 35klm long stretch of wilderness. It was built to forge a railway link between the mining town of Queenstown and the port of Strahan.
The restored West Coast Wilderness Railway is the only tourist railway in Australia using Abt rack railway technology.
