Ep 18 – What Makes the Tilt Train So Iconic to Queenslanders?
Description
Episode 18 - The Tilt Train
In today's episode we look at how over 25 years ago, Queensland Rail began its ‘tilt to the future’ with an innovative technology and a number of Australian rail firsts, and how two trains revolutionised the train service between Brisbane and Rockhampton.
We also chat with Jack, one of our Regional Rollingstock Project Delivery Managers involved in a recent traction package upgrade for the ETTs (Electric Tilt Trains).
Here's a collection of images looking back at the Tilt Trains over the years.
