It was declared an officially preserved Railway in 1992 , carrying about 40,000 passengers per year at the time. A decade later, it carried 115,000 passengers per year, 70% of whom were foreign Tourist s. The trains are usually pulled by Class 24 steam locomotives, of 2-8-4 Wheel Arrangement with Vanderbilt-like "torpedo" tenders, although the task is occasionally handled by 19D steam engines. When dry conditions in the summer increase the risk of Wildfire s, diesel locomotives are used instead. EXTERNAL LINK |
