Steam Train Rides
REDWATER CREEK STEAM AND HERITAGE SOCIETY currently has over 1km of track and full rail safety accreditation under the Tasmanian Government’s Rail Safety Act to operate our heritage railway. Our steam train is hauled by a 1906 Krauss 610mm gauge loco and consists of Tasmanian heritage coaches – a hundred years old and still going strong!
We operate steam train rides on the first full weekend of every month from the original Sheffield railway station. Trains run every half hour from 11am until 4pm on Sat. and Sun. See the 2011 schedule here
We also run the trains during the summer holiday period – we’d run more often if we had more people willing to train as drivers and support people! Want to know more? contact us
