Hauled by historic steam and diesel locomotives, the Hotham Valley Railway transports you along the original Pinjarra to Narrogin railway line. This heritage railway is operated by a dedicated group of enthusiasts who strive to preserve this unique part of Western Australia’s history.
Jump aboard the Dwellingup Forest Train and travel east to Etmilyn along Western Australia’s only surviving, lightly-built developmental railway. At the end of the line, enjoy a short walk through the Jarrah Forest to witness rare plant species and seasonal wildflowers.
You can also opt for the Steam Ranger service, a leisurely journey west to Isandra Siding. Experience this historic steam locomotive hard at work as it tackles one of Western Australia’s steepest sections of railway through the spectacular Darling Range Escarpment.
Want to spoil your loved one? Book a dinner aboard the Restaurant Train to enjoy a gourmet meal within the Hotham Valley Railway’s atmospheric carriages.
