Krauss Locomotive
Krauss locomotive
Several of these Krauss locomotives operated on Tasmania’s West Coast. This particular engine once belonged to the Mt Lyell Mining Company. It runs on narrow (2 feet) gauge lines. By using these narrower tracks, the mining companies were able to build railway lines more cheaply to access areas that would have been very expensive to reach by other means.
