| Description | The Derwent Valley Railway Preservation Society was formed with the aim of continuing the passenger excursion trains formerly operated by the Tasmanian Locomotive Company on the Derwent Valley Line. The society was initially based at Claremont, near Hobart, but moved its rolling stock to a new site at New Norfolk, 38 km northwest of Hobart, in 1994. The society aims to reopen the currently disused Derwent Valley branch line and run regular trains to National Park. At present no trains are operated. It is 3' 6" narrow gauge. The collection includes 8 locos, 9 carriages and 11 wagons. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The presentIn October 2005, Pacific National, who had taken over commercial running of the TasRail network, closed the Derwent Valley Line west of New Norfolk. This effectively stopped the running of the heritage railway. In May 2006, Pacific National came to a new agreement with the Tasmanian Government which included returning all tracks and rail lands to Government ownership.Derwent Valley Railway Inc. are currently in negitiations to regain access to the Derwent Valley Line to restore it to its former glory and operate it as a world class tourist railway. |
