Steam Train Rail Journey

Saturday 28th September

September 28 @ 7:30 am 6:30 pm

Queensland Rail, in partnership with the Australian Railway Historical Society (Qld) are excited to announce that they will be bringing the gorgeous steam train BB181/4 and heritage carriages to Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers!
The historic steam train trip involves a scenic ride from the North Ipswich Workshops through the Darling Downs and up the range to Toowoomba railway station, where you can connect to the festivities at the Carnival via coach. After immersing in the festivities, including a ‘dig up the dirt’ with expert Toowoomba Regional Council gardeners, you will return to the steam train at Helidon for a sunset journey back to Ipswich.
There are also limited seats for Toowoomba locals to jump on the historical steam train to travel down ‘the range’ from Toowoomba railway station to Helidon in the early afternoon. The steam train will slow to a walking pace as it pass the picturesque sights of Spring Bluff station before arriving at Helidon to complete the local trip. Coaches will be available to take you back up the range.
