Mount Lyell railway

[2] A bill for construction of the railway was introduced into the Tasmanian House of Assembly in November 1892.

[3] A further survey was undertaken in March 1893 to determine the best route[4] and in June the same year preparations were made to float the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company to undertake the work.

In the 1920s as typical passenger service was the daily mail train that left Queenstown at 8 am for 10 am arrival at Regatta Point.

[6] Mount Lyell company had railways on its lease that were separate from the mainline between Queenstown and Strahan.

In later stages of operations, the mine had an underground railway to haul ore to the processing facilities on the lease.
