Maroochy Shire residents will remember Moreton Mill's safety loco, Coolum, aka 'Lorrie'.

 

More than driving the locomotive...

Queensland's rail heritage operations are state accredited and operate under regulations that ensure human comfort/safety and environmental protection.
    Most are operated by volunteers and are looking for additional members to assist with operational and maintenance duties. While some tasks require specialised skills/training, many can be done by almost anyone. These include mowing, cleaning, sales, guiding visitors, fund raising, etc., as well as track maintenance and other heavy duties.

Safety is also an important consideration and railways often conduct public safety campaigns. QR, for example, distributes stickers with the themes below.
