Description

The Piha Tramway by David Lowe. 'A steep winding track formation threading its way through forest and bush miles from civilisation is a popular picture of the New Zealand bush tramway. A driver stood square on the footplate of his engine, braced against the continual pitch and roll, while behind him nimble footed brakemen perch high on the logs to control a primitive braking system in a scene repeated again and again throughout the country in an age when the forests rang to the crash of falling timber and echoed the panting exhaust of a bush lokey working hard'. From the introduction of this small stapled booklet.
