The Emu Bay Railway – Centenary Edition | Lou Rae | 2nd Edition 1997 [USED – HC – Out of Print]

The centenary history of the Emu Bay Railway Company in Tasmania, written by Lou Rae and published in a second edition in 1997. The Emu Bay Railway was a privately owned line running from Burnie on the north-west coast into the mineral-rich hinterland of western Tasmania — connecting the mining towns of Zeehan, Rosebery and Queenstown to the coast.

It played a central role in the development of Tasmania's west coast mining industry from the 1890s onward, carrying ore, timber and passengers through some of the most rugged country in the island.

At 299 pages with an index and illustrations throughout, this centenary edition documents the full history of the line — from its establishment through the boom years of the west coast mines to the changes of the 20th century.

A detailed reference for Tasmanian railway historians, west coast history researchers and anyone with family connections to the mining and transport industries of the Tasmanian west. Out of print and not commonly found.
