Bell Hill mill tramway was a bush tramway at Bell Hill in the Moana Region of the Grey District on the West Coast of New Zealand. The tramway with a track gauge of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) was used in the 1910s.

The Bell Hill mill was owned by Brownlee and Company and opened in the second decade of the 20th century.[1] At times the mill closed down due to lack of water for the mill's boilers and for dampening down sawdust.[2][3] In 1947 the mill was threatened by fire.[4]

Locomotives

The Johnson locomotive was built in Invercargill in 1906.[5]
