Rosewood Railway Museum
If you head for a little place called Rosewood, tucked away in the Bremer River valley, the train is waiting for you on the last Sunday of each month. Rosewood is 50 kilometres west of the city of Brisbane and 18 kilometres west of Ipswich and is served by the electric train from Ipswich.
The town is home to the Rosewood Railway Museum that seeks to recreate the atmosphere of a typical Queensland branch line of the steam and early Diesel era. The Museum is an operating railway that includes a PB15 steam locomotive that hauls restored wooden carriages plus a variety of diesel locomotives and railmotors. The line is high in the hills above Rosewood so there are plenty of steep grades where the steam engine has to work hard.
The museum, part of the Australian Railway Historical Society Queensland Division, also has an extensive collection of restored carriages and wagons on display.
Trains run on the last Sunday of each month and the Museum is open as a static display on the other Sundays of each month. Cab rides in the vintage diesel locomotives are available around the main depot yard at Kunkala Station on running days.

The Gulflander Normanton Queensland Australia
The Normanton to Croydon railway in the Gulf Country of North Queensland Australia.
In the late 1800s after copper was discovered in the Cloncurry area the solution to the transportation problem was to build a railway to Normanton on the Norman River which would give access to the Gulf of Carpentaria for shipping. The government had a policy at the time, of extensive railway building; surveys were completed and contracts for rails and steel sleepers for the proposed line were let.
Rail and sleepers were landed at Normanton, but about this time, gold was dicovered at Croydon, some 93 miles to the east of Normanton. Plans were quickly changed and the railway was hastily rerouted towards Croydon; and plans for the line to Cloncurry were put aside. The line between Croydon and Nomanton was opened by the middle of 1891.
Steam locomotives provided all the original power until the first railmotor that worked on the line, arrived in 1922 from Townsville. It had been converted from a Panhard Levassor road wagon at Ipswich railway workshops in 1918, it weighed nearly four tons, and was fitted with a 20-24 horsepower petrol engine and could carry ten passengers.
Railmotors replaced steam hauled trains which were expensive to run. The last steam train ran to Croydon in February 1929 hauled by B13 161 with twenty tons of goods.
RM32 worked on the line between 1945 and 1960. RM32 was transferred from the Cooktown to Laura line when that line closed and was nicknamed 'Endeavour' after Captain Cook's sailing vessel. The chassis frame of Rail Motor 32 is on dislay near Normanton station.
RM60, was in service on the line 1960-1964. RM60 is a 45 horsepower petrol powered AEC, built Ipswich Railway Workshops 1931. After falling into disrepair while RM74 was in use, it has now been restored to running order for special occasions.
RM74 arrived at Normanton in 1964 and remained in service until 1982 when it was replaced by the present RM93. RM94 was originally a 100 horsepower AEC railmotor. It was built at Ipswich workshops in 1934 and was later fitted with a 102 horsepower Gardner diesel engine similar to that in RM93.
