A fun and interesting experience! Listening to the clatter of the old train and the steam whistle, and the steam streaming past the windows. Everyone is very friendly.

We all loved the Red Rattler train ride… seeing the countryside, which you never see whilst driving, was awesome! Stopping at the little towns and being able to meander through the close streets...

Mary Valley Rattler Train Experience

About: Mary Valley Rattler

The Mary Valley Rattler is a vintage-style train that follows the Mary River and immerses guests in the spirit of bygone times, when life was slower and the railway was the lifeblood of those who lived along the river.

With the advent of cars, highways, and air travel, fewer people came to rely on the train, but there's no denying the romance of the simpler times, and what better way to experience the timeless, unchanged beauty of the Mary Valley than from the carriages of its famous locomotive engine?

The Mary Valley Rattler is a not-for-profit organisation ensuring the public has access to a historic rail experience.
