About
Join DownsSteam for a fantastic day out behind one of our heritage steam locomotives on our Rails &amp; Ales – Steam Adventure.

Departing from Drayton Station, our heritage steam train will travel through the picturesque countryside of the Darling Downs to the historic township of Cambooya, where guests will have the opportunity to visit the much-loved Bull &amp; Barley Inn for a classic country pub experience.

Passengers holding Pub Lunch Tickets will disembark at Cambooya for their reserved lunch at the Bull &amp; Barley Inn to enjoy and alternate drop meal. While guests enjoy their meal, the steam train will continue south to Greenmount, where it will turn before returning to Cambooya to collect passengers for the return journey to Drayton.

Two ticket types are available for this special event.

Rails &amp; Ales – Pub Lunch Ticket ($115.00 adult, $95.00 Child) 
Travel aboard the steam train from Drayton to Cambooya where you will enjoy a reserved pub lunch at the Bull &amp; Barley Inn before rejoining the train for the return steam journey.

Lunch seating is reserved and organised for these ticket holders.

This option is perfect for guests who simply want to enjoy a longer steam train experience, bring your own picnic lunch or snacks or purchase light refreshments onboard.

                "description": "\nEnjoy a trip down memory lane at our beautiful Drayton Station for a nostalgic experience reminiscent of a bygone era. DownsSteam is a community organisation, run by volunteers, dedicated to the establishment of a tourist heritage railway for the Darling Downs. DownsSteam was formed to preserve and restore the last remaining steam locomotive built at the historic Toowoomba Foundry Company, C16-106 Southern Cross Works No 28 circa 1914. Along with our two steam locomotives C16-106, and BB18¼ 1037, we have also restored the former Commissioner’s Inspection Railmotor. Not only are you able to wander through our historic station and go on a precinct tour (including our exceptional Dreamtime Carriage), we also run rail trips to various towns on the Downs. Check our website for trip schedules, pricing and to purchase tickets. Every 3rd Saturday of the month, we hold an open day with a sausage sizzle, live music and often free heritage bus rides. "
