Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Spine is faded. Interior and binding are still excellent. Signed by author.

This is the definitive work on the steam locomotives of the Western Australian logging and firewood railways, as well as Western Australian railway contractors. It includes a brief historical introduction to each company.

Western Australian logging tramways were very different to those in the east. They had much bigger operations and a more railway-like character. They had a wonderful collection of locomotives, mostly from American and British suppliers, and most were bought new. Unlike in the East, few were geared, and few were “home-made”. (publisher blurb)
