Great coverage Nathan,
always neat to see an American extending his railway knowledge base and delighting in the oddities to which most of your countrymen are unaware of.
The Fell brake rail was used in several steep graded areas here, the Rimutaka incline being the most famous and also on the line to Rewanui. A number of Bush Trams also used the system.
