Victoria Tunnel, Queensland

Victoria Tunnel, Queensland

The Victoria Tunnel in Queensland is the oldest and longest railway tunnel in that state, built when the state was a separate colony. [ [http://gallery.qrig.org/v/users/qrig/COF2007/ Carnival of Flowers 2007 ] ]

It is narrow gauge. The tunnel has restricted clearances, which limits the size of rolling stock on the Queensland Railways network. It is 537m long. [http://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/documents/heritage/grandchester.pdf]
