The 'Boom Forest Reserve' lies some 5km to the north of [[Tanakpur]].
An article in the 'Times Of India' <ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/Forest-dept-to-revive-colonial-era-tramway-rail/articleshow/47790062.cms 'The Times Of India' "Forest dept to revive colonial-era tramway rail" by Vineet Upadhyay, 23 Jun, 2015]; Retrieved 9 Dec 2017</ref> states that plans from 1927-37 show a 4km Tramway between Tanakpur and Boom.
The article also referes to the [[Kathgodam-Nandhaur Forest Tramway|'Kathgodam-Nandhaur Forest Tramway'- ''see separate page'']]. This was a much longer tramway, operational from 1923-24. It states that 'the Forest Department used to operate its own Tramway til the late 1980's', it is not clear if this included the Tanakpur-Boom Tramway.
