Tarrawingee Tramway

The Tarrawingee Tramway was a railway in the Barrier Ranges region of New South Wales.

[1] It purchased two James Martin & Co built 2-6-0 locomotives to the same specification as the South Australian Railways Y class.

[2][3][4] In 1897, the smelting of iron-ore had moved to Port Pirie and the need for Tarrawingee limestone ceased.

[5] It briefly reopened in 1931 to allow 25,000 tons of aggregate to be conveyed from Tarrawingee for construction of the Broken Hill Central Power Station with the last train running on 17 April 1931.

In May 1936, the line was sold to Zinc Corporation for dismantling except for short spur to the Vacuum Oil Company, this was removed in March 1959.
