Sawn timber on its way to Blackball, from Brownlee's sawmill at Carluke, Rai Valley. Brownlee built solid embankments, and sturdy bridges for his timber railway. He used the same 3'6" (1067 mm) rail gauge that N.Z. Railways had adopted. The N.Z. Railways had assured Brownlee that they would buy up his timber line when he ceased operations, and use it as part of the proposed link right through to Nelson. That line never eventuated. 2008.165.0149
