About this place
What to expect
The historic Bell Railway Station was first established in 1905. This is a static display always open to the public. The display includes restored railway section cars and vintage rail carriage and the 1172 Drayton Belle Diesel Electric Locomotive powered by a Cooper Bessemer FWL-6-T Engine. Initially numbered the 1502 and renumbered 1172 in June of 1965 this engine has covered 1.641,522 kilometres. Withdrawn from service 31/3/1989 and sold to Wambo Shire in 1998 she arrived in Bell on the 17/4/1998. In the parkland area, a restored historical motor and machinery collection at Popey's Shed is a drawcard and one of a kind.
