Kuranda Scenic Railway carriages and locomotives have a long and storied history throughout the 20th century. Read on to find out detailed information on the history, design and statistics of our historic railway. Both consists comprise heritage style carriages. The first and last carriage on each service has a Guards' compartment fitted. This style of coach was well known because of their vintage appearance. Such things as open-end verandas, sun shades over the windows and short wheelbases were common place.
