DownsSteam Tourist Railway & Museum

Ride restored steam locomotives built right here in Toowoomba.

This volunteer-run railway preserves and operates steam locomotives originally built at the historic Toowoomba Foundry, including the beloved 'Pride of Toowoomba'. The Drayton precinct is packed with rolling stock, memorabilia and a relocated 1879 station building.

On running days you can climb aboard heritage steam shuttles and even join 'pub lunch' rail trips to nearby towns. It's a nostalgic, family-friendly outing.
