Sandstone Steam Railroad

From the Archives >>>

When the owners of Sandstone Estates purchased the farm, part of the
national rail network crossed the land. Sandstone saw this as an opportunity to distribute farm produce via this traditional and cost effective method. Since then, the narrow gauge track has been laid, both as a tourist feature and a viable link to the national rail infrastructure.

The Sandstone Heritage Trust has been able to rescue a number of abandoned
and decaying locomotives and wagons and a dedicated team is painstakingly
restoring them to their former glory. Not only does this secure a valuable part of southern Africa's industrial heritage, but it creates valuable jobs as well as passing on priceless skills from one generation to the next.
