Don River Railway


The Don River Railway is a volunteer run vintage railway and museum in Don, a suburb of Devonport, Tasmania. It runs a passenger train ride from Don to Coles Beach and return using part of the former Don River Line that ran between Don Junction and Paloona. The service is usually run daily except Mondays/Tuesdays inclusive. The Don River Railway is open every day with the exception Good Friday, ANZAC Day and Christmas Day. Wednesdays through to Saturdays, customers can expect to ride in a 1940s ex Tasmanian Government Railways rail car and trailer, DP22 and PT3. Whilst on Sundays a heritage carriage set is hauled by either a steam locomotive or a vintage diesel locomotive. Numerous other locomotives and rolling stock are in the process of being restored at the on-site workshop.
