Railway Heritage is being revived in the Garden Route region of the Western Cape. This Heritage Day weekend saw the inaugural trip by Jenny the Steam Locomotive, between Hartenbos and Great Brak River in Mossel Bay.
The trip onboard Jenny is the first of many steam train rides to come. Steam train heritage is big in the area, with George boasting a museum which tells the history of steam trains and locomotives in this region.
The revival has brought great excitement for locals. This Heritage Day weekend, Jenny gave around 1500 passengers beautiful views, inspite of the cold and rain, as they embarked on a nostalgic trip on the Mossel Bay coastline. Jenny is a beautifully restored class 24 steam locomotive, which was built in 1943. For years, she provided service as Atlantic Rail’s tourist train on the scenic Cape Town, Simon’s Town route. Now she will boost tourism in Mossel Bay and the rest of the Garden Route.
