Electric Tilt Train route
Tilt Train is the name for two similar high-speed tilting train services, one electric and the other diesel, operated by Queensland Rail. They run on the North Coast line from Brisbane to Rockhampton (electric) and Cairns (diesel). Services commenced in 1998.
The name Tilt Train often refers to the electric train service between Brisbane and Rockhampton only.
