I have a copy of the train notice issued today but it is wrong. Even shows
the wrong loco.

If you drive to Toowoomba, you can catch a bus from the station at 9.15am
to Helidon and ride the train to Toowoomba for only $15.00. If you can't
afford that either, the Garratt is making 4 runs to Harristown on the
Sunday morning at only $5.00 a trip.

Spring Bluff is about 2/3 of the way up the range. Most of the range is
inaccessible by car and the best way to see it is on the train.
