The Wee Georgie Wood Steam Railway Inc commenced operations in 1987 utilising some 1.8 kilometres of 610mm gauge track and the restored 1924 Wee Georgie Wood locomotive and rolling stock of that era from other West Coast tramways.
It is based on part of the former North Mount Farrell Tramway and operates as a heritage/ tourist attraction for the people of Tullah and surrounding areas and visitors to the West Coast.
The original tramway was the only means of transport for the mine and its people from 1902 until roads were built to the Tullah area in 1961.
