Navigate Queensland Rail
8. Travel throughout the state of Queensland on QR's "Traveltrain" routes. They are comprised of 3 main services: Coastal, Outback and Tropical.
9. Ride along the Coastal Blue line from Brisbane to Cairns. This route acts as the main line from which all other routes diverge on the Queensland Rail system
10. Choose from three Outback Red routes to travel inland from Queensland Rail's Coastal Blue line. Spirit of the Outback travels north and then to the west to Longreach. The Westlander departs directly west from Brisbane to Charleville. The Inlander route travels from Townsville to Mt. Isa, the most inland destination on Queensland Rail.
11. Take 2 unconnected routes in the Tropical North line to experience some of Queensland's most scenic routes. The Kuranda Scenic Rail travels from the coastal city of Cairns up into the rainforests of Kuranda while the Gulflander travels between Normanton and Croydon.
12. Pack with QR's baggage allowance policy in mind. Each passenger may check in 2 bags weighing no more than 25 kilograms a piece and carry on another piece of hand luggage.
13. Take your car with you through QR's Motorail services. This is offered on limited days for the Outback and Sunlander services.
14. Travel within Brisbane on QR's "Citytrain" service. There are stations throughout the city.
