The Bally Hooley Steam Railway

The Bally Hooley Steam Railway was a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge heritage railway that operated in Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia.[1] Its last day of operations was 24 September 2021, with its rolling stock permanently preserved at Crystalbrook Marina.[2]

It operated a 4 km line from the Marina Station, located at Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, to St. Crispins Station and takes approximately 1 hour for a return trip.

The service operated on Sundays and days that cruise ships are in town, but was closed on public holidays. On most Sundays, one of the steam locomotives was operated. The steam locomotives were "Speedy", "Bundy" or "Nelson". "Bundy" had a special coal car.
