The Taieri Gorge Railway was saved through the efforts of the Dunedin community more than 20 years ago. It remains a co-operative effort involving the local municipality. I booked on the longer Friday and Sunday only excursion train to Middlemarch. We departed on time at 0930 from Dunedin's historic railway station with one locomotive hauling a power van and six... more

During the first ½ of the trip up the gorge, the scenery is out the left side of the train as winds up the lower gorge. During the second ½ of the trip, the scenery is on the right side of the train as the train winds up the upper gorge. We were very fortunate that the train was only... more

You stop at a lovely little... more

We booked our trip for September online. All of the staff that we met (or corresponded with) were very customer responsive, helpful and friendly. We chose to get on the train at the Wingatui Station in Mosgiel. As the station is out of the way it is very important to get good directions to it (we got directions from the... more

I took the trip duing of the downpours in February 2005. The train is old and full of character and the staff were very friendly. There was a commentery throughout the trip up and there were several stops along the line for you to get out and take photos of the gorge. The platforms in between the train were large... more
