About Our Trains
Our heritage trains use restored passenger cars from the early 1900s, and when possible are hauled by one of our century-old veteran steam locomotives.
These local trains usually operate from Canberra to Bungendore.
Our overnight or weekend tour trains include air-conditioned sleeping and dining cars, and are hauled by veteran diesel locomotives.
The list to the right highlights major up-coming train trips. For a full program for 2008, see Train Trips and Tours.Christmas-in-July Dinner/Dance Special
