Re: the rack Moonmera

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

The authors name is John Knowles. The book was called "The Mount Morgan Rack
Railway". The book is long out of print, but I will see if I can find a
spare copy.

I  am forwarding your e-mail to Greg Hallam, Heritage Projects Officer with
Queensland Rail as he may be interested in this issue - it is right up his
alley.

David Mewes
