The Outeniqua Choo Tjoe is a steam hauled train which operates on the
Outeniqualand Preserved Railway between George and Knysna in the heart of
the world famous Garden Route.
You are invited to spend the day reliving the past by travelling on the
Outeniqua Choo Tjoe, a mode of transport which was used to develop this
and many other countries of the world. |
|
The train will take you through picturesque landscape, along spectacular
coastline, past fern-clad hills, through forests and tunnels, over streams
and a bridge stretching across the Knysna Lagoon.
This route takes you through unspoilt areas inaccessible by car. Be
sure to take your camera along! |

For the Steam Train enthusiasts, here are a few interesting facts about
theses amazing locomotives.
The locomotives mostly used on the line are "class 24" (built 1948) and
"class 19D" (placed in service 1937 and 1948). |

However, other locomotives dating from as early as 1896 can be seen on the
line from time to time. They include Class 7A, 7B, GB, 14CRB and 19C.
