Wee Georgie Wood Steam Railway
Wee Georgie Wood is a 600mm-gauge (2 feet) 1921 Fowler 0-4-0 tank
steam locomotive that operates on the short Farrell Tramway, which opened for operation between the then isolated mining township of Tullah and Farrell Siding, some 9.6 kilometres away on the Emu Bay Railway in 1909.
Wee Georgie Wood was the prime source of motive power for the tramway between 1921 and 1962, when the new Murchison Highway reached Tullah and the original tramway ceased operations.
Most of the original tramway route was inundated by the rising waters of Lake Rosebery. In the 1980s Wee Georgie was rescued and restored to full running order by a group of local enthusiasts and volunteers.
Radford Wood Crafts, which specialises in using local, native timbers, is also in Tullah.
