Description
SS66499595 to SS66889598. The original works of 1871 had an extensive system of internal works railways linked to the adjacent Great Western Railway. The railway also served a river dock and by 1876 had a steam-engine house to draw trucks up to a series of tips on the eastern river bank. The engine house had disappeared by 1897 (Hughes, 'Copperopolis', p. 308).
