Abstract: Bush tramways were the light railways that served the New Zealand timber industry from the 1850's to the 1950's. From both mechanical and civil engineering aspects, they were an extreme application of railway technology. In this paper key distinctive features are identified and compared in the context of both conventional railways and overseas forestry railways. Notable preserved items of bush tram heritage are identified.
