Welcome to South Australia's
SteamRanger Heritage Railway

          Heritage train travel through the Adelaide Hills and on the Fleurieu Coast


The SteamRanger Heritage Railway operates a number of different heritage steam and diesel hauled tourist trains between Mt Barker in the Adelaide Hills, up over the crest of the southern Mt Lofty Ranges, down to Strathalbyn and on through the coastal holiday towns of Goolwa and Port Elliot to the tourist resort town of Victor Harbor.

Trains operate on up to 140 days a year and are manned by volunteers from the Australian Railways Historical Society, who are also responsible for maintenance of the rail line and the heritage locomotives and carriages.

Come and travel with us soon!
We will guarantee a great day out for you, your family or your colleagues. Our philosophy is that when you buy a ticket you are not just buying a train ride but a whole new experience!

Unfortunately all of our steam locomotives are at present undergoing urgent maintenance and your train at present will feature one of our heritage railcars or diesel locomotives.



  COCKLE TRAINS are currently running on Wednesdays and Sundays between Goolwa and Victor Harbor.       Three return trips each day!       Click on the COCKLE TRAIN logo below to get full details!
