West Coast Wilderness Railway Ride a steam train into history, back more than 100 years when pioneers forged a rail link between the mining town of Queenstown and the port of Strahan. One of the world's great railway journeys, authentically recreated with its many timber trestle bridges and the unique Abt rack and pinion system, the West Coast Wilderness Railway crosses the wild King River and climbs through sheer-sided rainforested gorges on its 35 kilometre journey. Lunch and interpretive guiding enhance your experience. close
