15. Kiama's "Limited Express"

from Royal Australian Historical Society

  • chy_gwel_an_meneth said:
    The tram was built by the NSW Govt's State Metal Quarries in 1913-14, in Terralong and Manning Sts, connecting the blue metal quarry on Pike's Hill with the harbour and the railway station. It transported some goods back to the quarry, but its main purpose was the 'blue metal' [basalt stone, crushed to road metal size), to the harbour (Robertson Basin). Never carried passengers - illegal. In 1935 the SMQ was sold to Quarries Limited. The tram closed in either 1940 or 41. The locomotive is a Davenport 0-4-0ST, it is heading to the quarry - towards the camera - with a rake of empty trucks. The South Coast railway bridge can be seen in the background - it is still there.
