The narrow gauge railway was established to serve the mines with explosives, timber, coal and the occasional miners train. It was not intended to have regular passenger traffic, but after the line was extended to Gumnut Gully the purpose has changed. Because of the remoteness of Gumnut Gully and the poor road conditions the ‘Gumnuts’ saw the opportunity to travel by train to Wombat Creek. The railway has agreed to implement a regular passenger service and to build a station in Gumnut Gully. As always, the manager goes for second-hand options. In this case, a station building from Kappendrup. Unfortunately this is about 10,000 miles from Gumnut Gully. The building is old but he can have it for free. The next challenge will be finding cheap transportation.
