When 2009/04/05 08:30 am to 2009/04/26 08:30 am

Get chuffed in KZN this Easter! Steam buffs, kids and anyone in touch with their inner child can now go chuffing along in a steam train from Inchanga to Kloof or Pietermaritzburg to Nottingham Road. Built in 1912, the Umgeni Class 3BR No.1486 was put back into steam in May 2008 and is running at the end of every month. Imagine travelling in a 2009 train consisting of 30's built coaches, one being 1908, all pulled by a 1912 locomotive. Don't miss this train!
