The West Coast Wilderness Railway is the name given to the publicly funded reconstruction of the railway line from Queenstown to Strahan on Tasmania's west coast. The railway is now operated by the Federal Hotels group.
Diesel hauled trains operate from Regatta Point (Strahan) to Dubbil Barril, where it meets a steam hauled train from Queenstown. From October to March, two trains operate per day, allowing a full round trip by rail. A bus connection to the other end of the line is available if a one train trip is desired, or shorter return trips can be undertaken from each end to Dubbil Barril.
