A tram or railway link was built between the south side of New Shaft and the main railway line. Ore that was raised from the shaft was immediately tipped into trucks and taken by railway to Anna Maria for dressing. The 1884 map appears to show a building at the higher (east) end of the track bed. This may well have been a small steam engine powered winder to let down full trucks and wind them up when empty. Other details: Site 277.
