For over 142 years QR has been a part of the Queensland landscape, providing not just rail services to Queenslanders but also as a vital part of local communities through employment and economic support, particularly for the rural and regional areas of the state. 

In our long history QR has connected so many communities with markets in Queensland and beyond. Today we're still forging ahead with freight and tourism innovations that are bringing revenue and jobs to Queensland. 

The QR History web site celebrates the milestone of our 140 years of QR history. Within these pages you can explore the history of QR, get a glimpse of where QR as an organisation is headed and browse events of celebrations. Visit the web site at www.history.qr.com.au
