History Friday - Steam Trains at Quorn - Flinders Ranges - South Australia - Celebrating 50 years.....

How amazing are the old steam trains at Pichi Richi Railway in Quorn, South Australia? Last weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to be part of RailFest 2024, celebrating 50 years since the first restored steam train journey from Quorn to the Summit.

These beautifully restored steam locomotives, brought back to life by passionate volunteers, are a testament to the rich history of the steam train era. Our journey took us from Quorn to Woolshed Flat, where we enjoyed delicious homemade food prepared by the wonderful CWA volunteers. We even had the honor of special guests like Her Excellency, the Honourable Frances Adamson AC, the 36th Governor of South Australia on the train ride & watch cut the ribbon for the opening of the event.

The weekend was filled with nostalgia, beautiful scenery, and the unforgettable sound of train whistles echoing through the Flinders Ranges.

Steam trains run from August to November, so check out the Pichi Richi Railway website for dates and book your trip to experience this slice of history! It's a stunning journey you won't want to miss.
