The Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway is located near Ipswich, Queensland, Australia and running through the former West Moreton pioneering coal fields. First opened in 1881 by colliery proprietor and politician Lewis Thomas (1832-1913) as a tramway to his coal mines. The right-of way later taken over extended to take in over 20 mines before reaching to its present termini at Swanbank Loop by Queensland Railways where it served the Swanbank Power Stations.
