The Don River Railway is a volunteer-run vintage railway and museum in Don, a suburb of Devonport, Tasmania.
It runs a passenger train ride from Don to Don Junction (adjacent to Coles Beach) and return using part of the former Melrose line that ran between Don Junction and Paloona.
The service is usually run daily except Mondays/Tuesdays inclusive.
The Don River Railway is open every day with the exception of Good Friday, ANZAC Day and Christmas Day.
Wednesdays through to Saturdays, customers can expect to ride in a 1940s ex Tasmanian Government Railways rail car and trailer, DP22 and PT3. Whilst on Sundays a heritage carriage set is hauled by either a steam locomotive or a vintage diesel locomotive (V2, X4, Y6 and 866).
Numerous other locomotives and rolling stock are in the process of being restored at the on-site workshop.

Union Pacific No. 4420
Union Pacific No. 4420 is a class S-6 0-6-0 steam locomotive. It was built in 1914 by the lima locomotive works for the Union Pacific railway.

The engine was design to work as a switcher for the Union Pacific railroad.

The engine was retired in 1957 and it was donated to the City of Evanston in 1958, where it went on display on the courthouse lawn.

Today the engine is now on display in a play area off Elm Street a few yards north of Oak Street in Evanston WY. It was revealed that Roundhouse Restoration INC, the company in charge of restoring the former Union Pacific Evanston Roundhouse and complex, had plans to move the 4420 to the Evanston Roundhouse, and eventually restore it to operation
