Inchanga (L 13)

Name: Inchanga

The original Inchanga viaduct opened in March 1880, and routed through Wallacetown. The Inchanga deviation and station opened 24/4/1892.

The Inchanga viaduct was dismantled in 1897. Most of the 6 spans were used elsewhere to provide small bridging facilities across gorges for new lines.

Since those early days the Inchanga Conservancy has taken over the running of the site and provides the craft market and food stalls for every running day of the train. Outside visitors are welcome to join in the fun and the day out in the country-side.

There is an operating HO gauge model railway, situated in the grey building at the craft stalls end of the platform.


Directions for outside visitors:

The morning train arrives at Inchanga at 09h30 and departs at 10h30 and the afternoon train arrives at 13h30 and departs at 15h00. For those of you travelling the route Inchanga-Kloof-Inchanga please be at Inchanga Station to collect your tickets from Robbie by at least 10h00.
