This rail route was established in 1878 between Kaitoke and Featherston.
The rail trail is a gently graded 18 km walk or mountain bike ride. This makes it an ideal trip for families with children. The trail is also popular with dog walkers.
Interpretation panels telling the colourful stories associated with the former rail line have been installed along the trail which also features restored railway bridges and historic tunnels (take a torch).
Spare a thought for the rail builders who blasted, dug and cleared the rock from these very well constructed cuttings. Imagine the tools they used and the distance they travelled to get to work.
Reflect on times gone by and give a vote of thanks to those rail builders for the excellent trail we have here today.
