Re: Re-Gauging other than to Standard Gauge

["canetram59" <canetram59@hotmail.com>]

There have been a number of conversions of former Queensland Railway's track
(3'6" or 1067 mm gauge) to 2'0" (610mm) gauge for sugar mill railways
(tramways) including -
1. Wallaville Branch (near Bundaberg) for the Gin Gin Mill.
2.  Netherdale Branch (Mackay Railway) for Marian Mill.
3. Cordalba Branch for Isis Mill.
