become a member.
Your continued support will help us achieve our goal to create an outstanding railway based tourism attraction in Northern Tasmania.
Why we want, and need You at L&N.E.R.
We are also a Registered Men's Shed.
Membership has assisted our organisation to achieve so much since we started to persuade the Tasmanian government of the value of the North East Railway Line to remain as a railway.
We also now are working hard to bring our Men's Shed part of the group into the foreground and really get some exciting projects going in that area.
Following the $50,000 consultancy report and an investigation by the Tasmanian Legislative Council our organisation was finally given a lease on the rail corridor in 2020 from Turners Marsh to Lilydale. However, this lease only permitted work around the line such as clearing of culverts, drains and vegetation.
The Board is completing the extensive documentation required for accreditation from the National Rail Safety Regulator. This will enable us access to repair the railway line and hopefully have our Railbugs operational at Turners Marsh, this will create an income for us that will help us to become self sufficient and all money we make goes back into our group so we can progress and create new projects for our members.
Our volunteers have participated in many tasks from Turners Marsh to Lilydale.
Lilydale:
-
Cleanup and maintenance of the railway station area.
-
Cleanup of the railway line outside the Lilydale School.
Karoola:
-
The restoration of rolling stock and vehicles by our members.
