Make memories to Ceres It was brilliant, always wanted to do the trip, was a Wonderful birthday gift, what better way to go than by train to Ceres Market but if you are going to drink alcohol on the train, you may need transport to get home. The staff were fantastic, the train also stopped for a smoke break. Went through Sir Lowry Pass village, another place I so much wanted to see. Was a long day but well worth it.

Terrific train trip from Cape Town! The volunteers who run the excursion are exceptional! Their service, the historical ambience of the train, and the never-ending vistas make for a truly memorable day. Ceres Rail to Elgin should be on everyone's 'must-do' list!

Elgin Rail Market train Staff were exceptional and very helpful. Though the delays are outside the control of the the staff, this did add unnecessary time to the longish day.

Good times with CRC My friends and I had a great time on board!, I’m sure some will say there can be improvement, but to me the trip was fun and the staff where really nice. we enjoyed the beautiful views and the experience of being on the train, our seating was comfortable and you can open a window and enjoy the outside. The market at the destination is really good.

This company surpassed every expectation we had. What an incredible experience! Our 7 year old twin boys loved every minute of the journey, especially since they could experience a real steam train. The cabins are absolutely beautiful and the nostalgia of overnight trains of long ago was so special. Every member of staff we encountered was helpful and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Stunning views. Took long but definitely a bucket list item. Met like minded ppl on the train. Watch out for the train wreckers who booze it up all the way. Good old fashioned time with ur partner. Highly recommend

👀🚂 Ever dreamt of being a train driver or wondered what it takes to actually drive one of these mammoth machines? Or perhaps you have been a driver in the past, tell us about that in the comments below. 

🛤 Keeping this mighty locomotive on track requires years of practice and apprenticeship, along with extensive knowledge of the route. Gauges galore, throttle, injectors, brakes, & more…there’s so much to control. It’s loud, physical, hot and tiring work but a thrill to be sure.

📞📝 If you want to know more about it then reach out to our team, they’ll be happy to chat. Otherwise you can experience this first-hand when you join one of our upcoming trips on 16th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 27th, 28th, 29th, or 30th December here: https://www.ceresrail.co.za/destinations-elgin-railway-market/ or contact reservations on: 079 401 9353, bookings@ceresrail.co.za.
