DownsSteam Tourist Railway

Getting in touch with the past has never been more thrilling, with DownsSteam Tourist Railway carrying steam locomotive passengers for the first time in 25 years after receiving Queensland Rail accreditation. Experience a much-loved piece of Toowoomba history with a train trip on the Steam Engine C16 106, aptly named ‘The Pride of Toowoomba’, which was built by the Toowoomba Foundry Company in 1914 or the BB181/4-1037 steam locomotive, donated by the Ford Family from Mackay. Immerse yourself in the rich rail history of the Toowoomba Region by booking a variety of services including the pint & plate excursion or grab the whole family to enjoy the novelty of riding a real steam train.
