Once a week in Summer (Some exceptions due to Cruise Ship visits, October to April) and once a week in Winter (May to September) the train extends its journey to the very end of the railway line to Middlemarch, a lovely example of a country railway town and the beginning of the Otago Central Rail Trail.

The train runs daily to Pukerangi, a peaceful outcrop out the other side of the Taieri Gorge.

This trip will take four hours and is our most popular tour!
