Maryborough's Trainfest 2000 is scheduled to take place on November 12. Plans are also underway to create a week-long annual Trainfest to celebrate Maryborough's place in Australia's rail history. Hundreds of people line the old Maryborough Railway Station platform as they wait to board the Class 2000 railmotor. Throughout the day, passengers were carried from Lennox Street to Bowen Street via the picturesque Queens Park for the Walkers Pty Ltd Open Day. The delightful little engines carry children and adults around the park to the sounds of Walkers Engineering Works Band or the Excelsior City Band.
Covered footwear is essential for all intending train passengers.
Passengers are transferred by bus to the Maryborough Transit Centre at the historic railway station in the heart of the city. The Lennox Street station is set to become Maryborough City Whistle Stop, an interactive tourist complex. The Transit Centre also caters for coaches. The Heritage Herald, Maryborough Qld.
