Welcome to the

Australian Railway Historical Society (ACT Division)

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 2009 train program, see Train Trips & Tours.
