Reviving a Golden Age of Rail Travel, Coal Mining and Industry, the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway is a living, breathing museum, where visitors young and old can experience the grandeur of a time gone by. Take a trip behind heritage diesel locomotives.
As a volunteer, you can learn new skills from old masters and find what best suits you in our group – there is no end to the options. In each case, training will be given so that you are proficient in the tasks you perform. Some areas are safety-critical so medicals and regular competence assessments are mandatory.
If you are office-bound and want to enjoy the outdoor life then why not train Operations Staff or Crew, to perform Track Work or assist in Locomotive and Carriage Restorations. If you have an outdoors job and would like to sit down, a spot on our marketing team may be for you. If you like meeting people then maybe the roles of Passenger Service Attendant, Waiter on Dinner Trains, Station Master, Conductor or Station Staff would suit you.
