context_page_description: The Lake Margaret Tram was located on the western side of Mount Sedgwick in the West Coast Range on the West Coast of Tasmania in service for the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company to the Lake Margaret community.
context_section_description: Initially, the tram was worked by Krauss locomotives, while in later years an Alfa Romeo petrol locomotive was used. Several rail cars worked the line and included a 'Riley' in earlier years, while a Vauxhaull rail car was used in the later years.
  In 1959, the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company purchased two 2-foot gauge diesel shunting locomotives, manufactured by Tulloch Limited of Rhodes, New South Wales. These were intended for surface working on their system of that gauge. They were powered with a Fordson 4-cylinder 40 hp. engine. The locomotive weighed 4.5 tons. As shown in the accompanying photograph, one of these locomotives was put to use on the Lake Margaret Tram.
