 Rails Toward the Sky
The Story of Driving Creek Railway
Barry Brickell
When Barry Brickell became New Zealand's first full-time craft potter he combined his passion for railways with his engineering skills to build a short line for bringing clay and firewood down from the hills to his Coromandel kilns. Over the next 30 years he kept extending the line, and Driving Creek Railway is now a major tourist attraction carrying thousands of passengers a year over the spectacular spirals, zigzags and the world's only double-deck railway viaduct. This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book he tells us how he managed it.
