Gallery of log for Letting off some Steam
This year (2015) Queensland Rail celebrates 150 years.
Two of the last steam locomotives to be built in Australia have been restored for some historic journeys between Brisbane and Cairns as part of the celebration.
Thousands of hours of labour at QR's Ipswich workshop have gone into restoring the BB18 one-quarter 1079 and 1089, and the nine wooden carriages capable of carrying 300 passengers.
The attached photo shows 1079 pulling into Roma Street Station. (Mrs W is in the foreground.)
