In Part 3 of the Railside Ride Series we start from the level crossing after the fenced off section we ended at in Part 2. We carry on down the line to Geduldrivier, past all the dairy farms in the area, until we eventually reach Witteklip station.
Sadly the adventure is once again ended by fences across the line, or has it?
Railside Ride is a series where we explore the Avontuur Narrow Gauge Railway. The world famous Apple Express operated on this line, with the final train running to Avontuur back in 2010. The line has remained unused for more than 13 years, and we compare some areas in current day to footage from the archives.
