A slow train to Croydon (and back the next day). This is an old historic railway using a railmotor from the 1950's. The railway track is in variable condition which means a slow pace.

Excellent train trip of yesteryear. Glen and Ray two dedicated employees who have kept the train running while being short staffed. The commentary on the area was very interesting and appreciating how far train travel has come. A 1 hour trip out then the train in turned around for the hour trip back. Plenty of opportunities for taking photos. …
