Burnie Rail

This delightful Art Deco train is typical of the DP13 and DP14 motor rails which used to be owned by Tasmanian Government Railways and were built in 1934. This train was refurbished by Classic Rail Tours as a charter operation and purchased in 2001 by the Burnie City Council. Volunteers from Don River Rail restored the train for Burnie Rail and operated it in partnership with the council. It has recently been used for pleasure journeys along the seafront between Burnie and Penguin, especially as a tourist expedition to the Penguin markets.
