Puffing Billy Railway (PBR) values public engagement and recognises that community and stakeholder support is critical in progressing our purpose of preserving and sharing a world-renowned heritage steam railway and providing iconic visitor experiences that capture the natural beauty and rich social history of Victoria’s Dandenong Ranges.

We encourage community members, associated groups, and local traders to engage with us so that PBR can continue to support and connect local communities.
