Thanks for visiting my site. I hope you find it informative, interesting and worth your trip here. :-) Please don't forget to click "refresh" on each page of the site for the most updated version of the page.

What's NEW?

I have updated the 'About' page with a short summary of the state of play of the rail industry within Queensland.

You can click here for downloadable PDF format copy of Queensland Rail's 2022/2023 financial year report.

Latest photo gallery upload includes just a few photos I took while on a short break while staying in the Glasshouse Mountains and Marybrough region of Queensland, during November 2023.

Latest video upload includes short footage of Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway's Loco 5802 hauling a set of heritage timber carriages into their Box Flat yard on the running day of 26th June 2022. Also, from the 11th May 2022 footage of rail action in and around Ipswich stabling yard on a very rainy afternoon.


What's this site about?

DEL 2828

First of all and probably most obviously, this site is NOT the official site of Aurizon, Queensland Rail, Pacific National, Watco or any other rail corporation whether in Queensland or in Australia, nor is it affiliated with any particular rail preservation, tourist or historical group. What this site is however, is a central point from where I can share photos, videos, links to rail related organisations and a little information of the current state of railways in Queensland, courtesy of rail tragic and author Arthur Shale. Trusting you find something here of interest.

Feel free to comment, or make a CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of this site. I assure you I am far from being a railway expert! If you believe I have made an error with any information anywhere on this site, please let me know. Just click on 'e-mail me!' on the menu bar and drop me a line.
