The Outeniqua Transport Museum, located in George in the Western Cape of South Africa, is a must-visit destination for history and transport enthusiasts. The museum is housed in a former railway station and showcases a fascinating collection of railway memorabilia, vintage locomotives, and carriages that tell the story of the region’s railway heritage.
Visitors can explore a wide range of exhibits, including classic cars, steam engines, and old-fashioned coaches, many of which have been meticulously restored. The museum also offers a chance to see a variety of model trains and transport-related artifacts, along with an interactive experience that educates visitors about the evolution of transport in South Africa.
A highlight of the museum is the opportunity to ride on a heritage steam train, which takes visitors on a short trip through the scenic countryside, adding a special touch to the experience. The Outeniqua Transport Museum is both a nostalgic trip through South Africa’s transport history and a fun, educational stop for visitors of all ages. Entrance is free of charge and I could also spot some steam engines built by Hentschel at Kassel.
