Steam Train Rides to the EKKA

Steam makes a grand return for Ekka 2025, with Queensland Rail’s much-loved heritage steam train offering special rides to the show on People’s Day, Wednesday 13th August.

For just 50 cents, passengers can board at Roma Street Station and enjoy a nostalgic journey to Exhibition Station aboard this beautifully preserved piece of railway history. Services are scheduled to depart Roma Street at 9.05am, 9.55am, 10.35am, 11.25am, 12.05pm, 12.55pm, 2.05pm, and 2.55pm.

Seats are limited and rides are popular, so arriving early is recommended. As a heritage train, the carriages have limited space and accessibility, and times may vary slightly due to the age of the locomotive.

This charming ride promises to be a memorable and fun way for families, train enthusiasts, and Ekka-goers of all ages to travel to the show in true vintage style.
