An 18" gauge firewood hauling, hand powered and gravity tram at the moment, running from several plantations to storage sheds and the back door. I move slab/slash from a sawmill brought in by trailer to the reload and my own cutting to a cutting deck. Cut and split fuelwood is then trammed to drying piles and/or moved back into storagesheds. Later during the winter's it is trammed to the house. There is also a cable worked incline of 1in2.1 grade extending 75ft down into the lower timber plantation.
A recent view of the Reload, track has been extended some 75ft past this point recently.
