Vintage Rail Journeys director Danielle Smith said she and co-owner Simon Mitchell wanted to offer an opportunity tor travellers to experience something new.
The tours will use rarely travelled freight lines, offering the chance to admire stunning landscapes from a different perspective.
"It's really about getting people out of the city and into regional NSW, where people have been through so much in recent years," she said.
"We want to make sure people experience the food and culture of the places we visit."
The first Golden West tour of the season will take place from February 10-14 and the first Riverina tour will run from March 10-14.
