Barossa Wine Train

Due to financial and insurance fallout from the 9/11 disaster, it was forced to cease operations in April 2003.^[1][2][3] The train was then put under storage at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide under the ownership of John Geber of Château Tanunda.^[4]

In March 2015, it was revealed that a consortium were seeking to resurrect the train and had an option to purchase three Bluebird railcars.^[5]

In 2023, the Barossa Wine Train Bluebirds were sold to Aurizon but the interiors were kept for future hope to put them into Adelaide Metro's 3000 class railcars for a new Barossa Wine Train.^{[citation needed]}
