Wonderful find.

Thanks! It's remarkably well preserved. Don Barrett had posted some pix of this tramway in the group earlier.

Great to see it still there. We found one of these (now unused) in Tasmania last year.

Thanks! Dunno why it's survived--in part it's probably low enough to the ground not to be a considered a hazard to aircraft. That's a reason lots of abandoned cables have been taken down.

Yeah, it's surprising it's still around.
