Mount Lyell railway

Construction of the Mount Lyell mine haulage line, c. 1895

The term Mount Lyell Railway was one of the terms used for the railway operated by the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company between 1899 and 1963.

Many name variations were used for identifying the line, the most common being the Abt railway.[1] After closing of the railway, most of the railway infrastructure was removed, except for a few buildings and bridges.
