BB18 ¼ 1079 - QR 150th Steam Train - Brisbane to Maryborough - 15/01/2015

In 2015, Queensland Rail celebrated 150 years of Rail in the state of Queensland. To mark the celebrations, a steam train hauled by the freshly overhauled BB18 ¼ 1079, hauled a train from Brisbane up the Queensland coast to Cairns and Mareeba and return. We followed the train on its first day, as it steamed its way from Roma Street station in Brisbane to its overnight stop at Maryborough West. Thursday, 15th January 2015
