Byron Bay Railroad Company

The Byron World First Solar Train is open to all, warmly welcoming the local community and travellers to ride. A return service is provided 364 days a year, excluding Christmas Day, on the immaculately restored 1949-era two-carriage heritage train. All thanks to a 4.6 billion-year-old power source. The three-kilometre coastal track links the Byron Town Centre with the burgeoning North Beach precinct and Byron Arts Estate. The journey takes ten minutes one way or 25 minutes to return from North Beach Station. Relax on vintage lounge seats in the first class carriage or chat with fellow passengers in coach class as you pass through littoral rainforest, endangered coastal wetlands and over the stunning tea tree Belongil Creek, part of Cape Byron Marine Park. The train has a capacity for 92 seated passengers, additional standing passengers and luggage room for bikes, prams and surfboards, carried free of charge. This is net carbon positive travel, Byron style.
