Step back to an age when steam ruled the rails and the journey was part of the adventure. Ride behind steam, travel First Class, or make the train your own with a private charter.
A living piece of New Zealand railway history
Glenbrook Vintage Railway offers a window back to the past, when steam engines ruled and life moved at a slower pace. Our collection of vintage New Zealand Railways locomotives and carriages operates over part of the historic Waiuku Branch Line, with journeys beginning at the heritage Glenbrook Station precinct.
Volunteers bring the railway to life throughout your visit, from preparing locomotives and operating the train to welcoming passengers at the station. Whether you're joining us for a family day out, something a little more special, or bringing a group of your own, there is a railway experience to suit.
