In 1873, the Don River Company replaced the existing tramway by constructing a new line measuring 4 feet 6 inches (approximately 1,137 mm). The train trip travels on the Don River's eastern bank to the junction at Coles Beach. Don River Railway's heritage locomotives and carriages are displayed throughout the grounds and workshop. There is ample parking available around the railway precinct.
