The Gallery
With most of our events, someone invariably takes some photographs and allows us to share them with others who were not so fortunate as to be able to attent these. Here is a selection of these images.
The earliest of these pictures are from our 2008 Heritage Day trip to Simonstown. This was the very first trip under the Atlantic Rail name and unfortunately shortly thereafter we were requested to get additional licenses, agreements and certifications. Because of this, there was a two year drought before the next event. We now plan to run quite regularly and to become a familiar sight on the Cape's railway lines.

Fish Hoek 12 December 2010
After an absence of over two years, Atlantic Rail ran on the South Peninsula line again. The destination Station was Fish Hoek. After dropping passengers, the train continued on towards Glencairn Station. This was the first train to go down that track in over a year. The trip was done carefully as no service crews had been along the line in quite a while. At one point, the dunes had started to wander over the tracks and this had to be cleared by hand. However, the iconic scene of the train passing Glencairn Beach was worth all the sweat.
