Story
Subsequent to a donation on the 16th September 1982, by llovo Sugar Mill, of a small standard gauge shunting locomotive, a group of enthusiasts from the Natal branch of the Railway Society of Southern Africa formed Umgeni Steam Railway, located near Durban, South Africa. Since then, other locomotives and coaching stock have been donated by the old South African Railways (SAR) or have been purchased from scrap yards or other bodies. The first public run took place in early 1984, with a total of 80 passengers for the day, from the old New Germany Power Station. Today, over 25-years after its foundation, Umgeni Steam Railway is still run by volunteers.
