The Plains Railway; Open Day

Visit Mid Canterbury's best kept secret! Enjoy riding our passenger service hauled by DSA218 from 11am - 4pm. Re-live the pioneering years of rural Ashburton, viewing working Stationary Engines, Vintage Tractors and machinery and much more! Stroll through our Museum Village Buildings, housing hundreds of exhibits from Homeware to Vintage printing equipment. In the Station Shop, Eftpos is available (sorry we don't accept Credit Cards), and why not take home a Souvenir? Kids of all ages can enjoy having a go at Classic Outdoor Games and activities.
