Charming Creek railway

Charming Creek railway

A converted tractor tows coal-filled wagons across a suspension bridge over the Ngakawau River in the 1940s. Coal was transported along this small bush railway from the Charming Creek mine to the railhead at Ngakawau between 1929 and 1958, but in later years it was trucked out through Seddonville.
