Read on to find out detailed information on the history, design and statistics of our historic railway. Both consists comprise heritage style carriages. The first and last carriage on each service has a Guards' compartment fitted. This style of coach was well known because of their vintage appearance. Such things as open-end verandas, sun shades over the windows and short wheelbases were common place. As you can imagine, they have been modified and upgraded at various times during workshop maintenance and rebuild programmes. Before leaving the rolling stock, mention must be made of four special carriages that were unique to the Cairns area and may have been the only vehicles of their type to operate in Australia.
