History was made during the week when the Proud Mary steam train was moved from the Gympie Station to the Rail Park in Imbil.
The moment the train was lifted on to the tracks by a crane marked a special moment for the town, with the hopes it will become another tourist attraction for the Mary Valley.
Division 8 Councillor Bob Fredman first brought the idea to the Mary Valley Chamber of Commerce a year ago, after he accepted a live train would never come back to Imbil.
âThey were very strong in their support for the concept so I met with the general manager of the Rattler, he took it on board, then a local group was formed in Imbil and they ve taken it from there,â Mr Fredman said.
