DownsSteam Tourist Railway & Museum

The DownsSteam Tourist Railway & Museum is a heritage railway preservation project located in Drayton, a suburb of Toowoomba, Queensland. Operated entirely by dedicated volunteers, the museum focuses on the restoration and preservation of locomotives, carriages, and railway infrastructure. Visitors can explore a collection of historic rolling stock, including steam and diesel locomotives, and view ongoing restoration projects. A highlight of the museum is the 'Dreamtime Journey' carriage, adorned with stunning Aboriginal artwork depicting the landscape and stories of Queensland. The museum also hosts events such as breakfast functions and aims to operate tourist train rides in the future.
