Please see "What's Happening" for the latest information about our trains:

Gabriel, our star steam locomotive, is running on Sunday 3rd September for Father's Day - and ticket prices are different - see Visitor info/ticket prices.

Diesel-hauled trains are operating on Friday 1st & Saturday 2nd September.

Usually we operate trains Friday, Saturday, Sunday all year, departing from Kawakawa Railway Station at 10am, 12 noon and 2pm for 1 ½ hour return trip. There is no need to book. Please arrive about 15 minutes before your train to purchase tickets from the shop.

Our trains "join up" the 3km missing portion of the Twin Coast Cycleway from Taumarere Station to Lone Cow (Akeake). Cyclists and walkers must travel by train between these Stations for their own safety, as the steep embankments do not allow any escape from an on-coming train. Not only do we run time tabled passenger trains, but also work trains on maintenance duties.
