The ride currently uses section cars and starts from Herberton Station and travels roughly parallel to the Wild River. It crosses the main highway by way of a tunnel under Grace St.

A few hundred meters further on a bridge enables the crossing of  Prospectors Gully where the first tin ore was found .

From here on  it passes through sclerophyll forest while travelling through cuttings and across another gully.

​

The ride ends at the Historic Village Herberton.

Please note that in order to enter the village you need to have purchased a ticket at the gate.

​

When the steam locomotive and passenger car have been fully restored, they will replace the section cars and the ride will be extended to Carrington Falls, a spectacular feature  at the top of the range before the descent to Wongabel and Atherton.

Eventually the ride will finish at the Atherton railway station at Platypus Park
