'''Shaman Hydro Electric Construction Transportation'''
The Shaman Hydro Electric Power Station was built by the 'Punjab Hydro Electric Company' from 1922, commissioned in 1932 and officially opened on 10 March 1933 by the Earl of Willingdon, then then Viceroy of India. It was known as the 'Uni Uhl River Project' during construction.
'''[[Kangra Valley Railway]]'''
'''Hill Top Tramway'''<ref name =darvill/><blockquote>The southern terminus was the location of the Winch House, Locomotive Shed and stores, from here a 2ft 6in/762mm [[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]] tramway ran for nearly 2 miles(3.2km) to a third rope worked incline.</blockquote>
'''Brot Haulageway'''<ref name =darvill/><blockquote>From the 'Hill Top Tramway' a third rope hauled incline ran down a distance of 2200 foot(670 metres) to the bank of the Uni Uhl River to a third tramway.</blockquote>
'''Headworks Tramway'''<ref name =darvill/><blockquote>At the terminus of the 'Brot Haulageway' was another locomotive shed and trasfer crane, from here a third 2ft 6in/762mm [[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]] ran for just under 1¾ miles(2800 metres) to the upper end of the 'Diurnal Reservoir' where the main stores were located. At this point the tramway split into two parts:- one round the bounday of the reservoir to the stone dump; the other, passing the crusher plant and compressor house, into the northern tunnel heading. There were a number of construction sidings on each branch.</blockquote>
