  • Our trains - we operate local and long-distance heritage trains providing passengers with an authentic rail experience;
  • Queanbeyan Railway Station - the Society operates the station, including ticketing facilities for both CountryLink and ARHS (ACT) trains;
  • Yass Junction - the former signal box and ‘up’ platform building are leased to provide amenities for members to view current mainline train operations.
