12.01.2022 Welcome Andy, to the Customer Service team. Here he’s receiving the Staff. We operate on a Staff and Ticket system. The Staff is basically a large wooden handled key. Each Staff has written on it the name of the section for which it applies to ie. Lagoon Pocket to Gympie.... The basics of this system are that a driver must not leave the station without being in possession of the train staff. As there is only one train staff this guarantees that there can only be one train in the section at any one time. #maryvalleyrattler #visitgympieregion #SafetyFirst #heritagerailway
