They are throwing open the doors of the Mount Barker depot and invite you to come along and see what's involved in keeping the worlds longest Heritage Railway in operation!

There will be lots to see and do around the depot and up at the station.

Informative displays, restoration projects underway, live steamers on show, railway memorabilia market stall, food stalls and drink stalls.

Of course, there will be train rides! The special train will operate between Mount Barker and Bugle Ranges with each one being hauled by the 2 Rx class steam locomotives taking the train up and over the highest point of the line at Philcox Hill and down into Bugle Ranges. Diesel locomotive 958 will bring the train back to Mount Barker for the return leg.

Trains will depart at 10am, 11am, 12pm, 1:30pm & 2:30pm.
Depot Entry:
