This morning travel to Glenbrook Vintage Railway for a nostalgic 15 kilometre trip back in time on a beautifully restored vintage steam train including a delightful morning tea. Depart Glenbrook and travel through magnificent countryside of rolling hills and green pastures famous for dairying.
The Glenbrook Vintage Railway offers a window back to the past when steam engines ruled, and life had a slower pace. The large collection of vintage New Zealand Railways locomotives and carriages operate over 400 return journeys a year over a 7.5km part of the historic Waiuku Branch Line. Your journey will start at the Glenbrook Station precinct, where our volunteers in period uniforms will welcome you back to the age of steam.
