The
Gulflander is an Australian passenger train, running from
Normanton to
Croydon in the
Gulf Country of northern
Queensland. Often described as 'a train from nowhere to nowhere', the line was completed in 1891 and was never connected to the rest of the
Queensland Rail network although it has always been owned and operated by
Queensland Rail. The nearest part of the Queensland Rail network is 190 kilometres away at
Forsayth. The service runs once per week to Croydon on Wednesdays and returns to Normanton on Thursdays. Shorter charter services on most other days are also available.
