In October 2007, a group of Queensland Section Car Enthusiests go on a run over part of the Monto Branch Line.

This ASSCO (Australian Society of Section Car Operators) trip travels from Biggenden to Mundubbera and then Biggenden to Mungar.

Come on a visit and see some of the last workings of this cane tramway, the sight of trains snaking through the main street of Nambour now gone forever.

Nearing Toowoomba

On Saturday 13th April 2002, recently restored 1089 teams up with QR heritage partner 1079 to haul an enthusiasts train of 12 wooden carriages to Toowoomba.

Not for about 30 years have two Queensland Railways “Betys” been on the roster together to make such a run possible.

1089 built by Walkers Ltd of Maryborough in 1958 was the last mainline steam locomotive built in Australia.

For the trip to Toowoomba both locos share the duty and on Saturday afternoon the train is split with 1079 returning to Brisbane. 1089 remains overnight to do some short trips to Harristown before its return trip to Brisbane on Sunday afternoon.
