HISTORIC SNAPSHOT: A very early shot of what is now the Scenic Railway. We understand this is a photo from 1926. It must have been a VERY EXCITING trip back then 🙂

It's reported, "The first public passengers, a group of weary bushwalkers, were carried up in the late 1920's. Empty chaff sacks provided a soft and clean place to kneel inside the coal skips. Management realised the financial potential, and had seats built onto some coal skips."

"In 1933, a special passenger carriage, The Mountain Devil, was built so that passengers and tourists could use the Scenic Railway"

Photo is restored and colourised. Original will be in the comments.
