Transport & Engineering History Australiana
The ABT Railway & Railways Of The Lyell Region by Lou Rae is a vintage 1999 softcover that unpacks the engineering feats and transport history of Tasmania’s west-coast mining railways. In 101 pages Rae blends geography, industrial heritage and local stories, making this slim volume a go-to for train buffs, modellers and regional historians alike.
This copy shows minor cover scuffing, corner wear and one light crease, yet the pages remain clean, unmarked and firmly bound. It’s the last one in stock, so collectors of Australian railwayana or West Coast Tasmaniana will want to move quickly.
A concise, authoritative reference rather than a coffee-table tome, the book slips easily into a backpack for field trips along the old ABT alignment. Grab this scarce edition before it disappears down the line.
