All aboard - The Magaliesburg Express

EEn route, take note of the wheel tapper at work. You can also open the windows, or stand in the passage and lean out to feel the smoke billowing from the chimney and watch the clouds of steam pumping from the train’s pistons.

Prefer a more leisurely experience? Head to the bar coach, sit back and watch the countryside from a comfy sofa with a drink in hand. Half way there, you’ll stop at the original Krugersdorp Station, built in 1896. The next stop is Magaliesburg.

This is a wonderful way to experience the town. Over the next four hours you can explore the craft shops, take a swim, and enjoy a picnic or lunch at one of the country restaurants.

On the way back, let the rhythmic sounds of the train engine lull you to sleep, or sit back and watch the countryside steam by.
