Many of the visitors were from outside the region but had special connections with the Yarraman railway in past years.<\/p>\n<p>The oldest former railway man in attendance was\u00a0Tony McQuillen, 87, who travelled from Banyo for the occasion. Tony used to work as a lad porter on the rail motors running from Toogoolawah to Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>He was invited to unveil a special plaque affixed to the old railway station building to mark the centenary.<\/p>\n<p>Also to mark the occasion, Jeffrey Muckert, a former station master at Yarraman for many years, planted a crows ash seedling in the Heritage House garden.<\/p>\n<p>Special centenary activities were also held along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (the old railway line):\u00a0on Saturday the\u00a0South Burnett PCYC organised a mountain bike and on Sunday,\u00a0the South Burnett Trail Horse Riders held a 22km trail ride.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday night, visitors and local residents gathered at the Yarraman Community Hall for a German-style supper
