Steam Sunday in Brisbane |
| Description: |
Queensland RY 4-6-2 1089 (Walkers, 1958) pulls a load of people out of Roma Street station for a roughly 90 minute trip around Brisbane. The locomotive was one of 55 BB18 1/4 class locomotives delivered from 1950 to 58. The class lasted through the end of steam on the Queensland RY narrow gauge in 1970. 1089 is one of the survivors and is still used for periodic heritage train operations. |

The Sunlander at Bundaberg |
| Description: |
QR's northbound Sunlander makes a stop at Bundaberg late on a fall afternoon. Behind the two Clyde/GM units is 17 cars, including seven sleepers. The train operates up Queensland's east coast from Brisbane to Cairns with cars dating from the '50s. It's due to be replaced by improved Tilt Train service over through 2014. The area around Bundaberg is full of sugar cane; the town itself is famed for Bundaberg Rum. |
