Since our first train departed Ipswich in 1865, Queensland Rail has proudly connected communities across the state. Today, we transport more than 50 million customers in a year and move over 15 billion gross tonne kilometres of freight across our expanding network.
For 160 years, we’ve helped connect Queenslanders with jobs, education, services, and each other. As our population grows, we’re building a stronger rail legacy for generations to come.
Join us in celebrating 160 years of rail!
