Timber Railway Lines Of Western Australia
The network of railway lines in Western Australia associated with the timber and firewood industries is as old as the mainline railway system of the former Western Australian Government Railways system. Timber railways There is a range of terminology related to the timber railways - they have been known as '' logging railways'', ''timber trams'', and other names. The dominant feature is the mobility or easiness of moving the lines from one area of forest to another - and in the early years the relatively primitive state of the lines. The dominant feature is the narrow gauge, and lightness of the locomotives, relative to permanent railways. In Western Australia, to allow for interchangeability of rail stock with the government rail system, a lot of the lines were gauge, however the weight of the rails was usually much lighter than mainline steel. Timber industry The timber industry relied mostly upon the jarrah forests of the Darling Range and the karri forests of the Southwe ...
