Arrival of Train Carriages
Possum Park train carriages were surplus to requirements for Queensland Rail in the early 1990’s. Being put out of service mainly because of manual couplings.
Our string of carriages have the appearance of a troop train of the 1940/50’s era having being shunted over the railway crossing into the goods yard beside the platform of Kowguran 3CR.
