Swanbank Collier

Join us for a journey back in time behind one of our two 1960s heritage diesel locomotives on our COVID Safe rail service - "The Swanbank Collier ” departing from Swanbank Station (ONLY) at 9am, 11am and 1pm. Total round trip time is approximately 70 minutes.

This train trip featuring heritage timber carriages is a one hour journey that winds its way back in towards suburbia through the old coal mining sites, lush bushland and along the base of Castle Hill.

There is a quick turn around of the locomotive at the Racecourse and we trundle back to Swanbank, through paddocks of horses and past quaint miners cottages.

QPSR are operating these services using a Queensland Tourism and Accommodation Industry COVID Safe Plan to limit the risk of COVID spread.

Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway ask that all passengers complete the pre-trip form (which will be emailed out to you a day prior to the trip) prior to arrival and respect the limitations imposed.
