Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, Woodford, Qld

The Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Society operates a railway museum at the Woodford railway station. The society was established in January 1971 to preserve the history of narrow-gauge railways in Queensland. The society has collected steam, diesel and petrol locomotives and rollingstock using the 2-foot gauge and has established their Durundur railway at Woodford as an operating heritage line. The society operates a heritage train on the first and third Sunday of each month from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Since 1971, the Society has acquired an irreplaceable collection of two-foot gauge steam, diesel and petrol locomotives and rollingstock, including a variety of line cars. Most were collected from Queensland and northern New South Wales although examples within the collection originated from England and France. It is a wide ranging collection of the equipment, which played a vital role in the development of the State of Queensland.



T The Woodford Historical Society operate a museum at 109 Archer Street as part of the library complex.
