Re: The Garrat locomotives on the NE Dundas Tramway
| January 13, 2020 06:17PM |
With increasing traffic, in 1906 the North East Dundas Tramway acquired the first two Garrat locomotives ever built. Here is one of the Garrats in what looks like new condition.
One of the Garrats, K1 or K2, at the ore loading bin that is fed by the incline railroad from the Hercules mine
One of the Garrats bringing up a mixed train with ore empties
The ore loading facilities. It looks like one of the engines is at the far end of the line.
Traveling first class on the 2 foot gauge
