Our famous Steam Ranger tours are our flagship service. Upon departing Dwellingup the pace is leisurely as the steam train rolls along westward, down to Isandra Siding, 14kms away. Once there, the locomotive will move to the opposite end of the train during the 30 minute stopover and make ready for the return. On the return journey, you will thrill to the magnificent sights and sounds of a Steam Locomotive hard at work climbing Western Australia's steepest and most spectacular section of railway, through the Darling Range Escarpment as the train returns you to Dwellingup.
You will travel along an amazing portion of steeply graded and tightly curved railway manually carved into the Darling Range, which once so masterfully served the timber industry and the agricultural areas of Dwellingup and beyond.
At Dwellingup Station you can also board our Restaurant Train, complete with 1919 Vintage Dining Car and 1884 Club Car. Enjoy a five course meal, served from the on-board wood stove, as our train meanders through the night forest which is softly floodlit from the train
Our third service is our Forest Train. From the moment you arrive at Dwellingup Station, just 97 Kilometres, 1 1/4 hrs from Perth, you'll sense you're about to embark on a journey with a difference. The historic Dwellingup Forest Train will take you 8 Kilometres eastward from Dwellingup to Etmilyn, along the state's last surviving lightly built developmental railway.
At the end of the line there is a 20-25 minute walk trail through the beautiful plant life and seasonal wildflowers of the rare Jarrah Forest.
