Welcome to Friends of the Rail. Thank you for coming here, Enjoy the ride with us!
We are here on the 'web' to tell you all about Friends of the Rail, one of South Africa's Premier Rail Heritage Preservation Clubs, and inform you of the great, nostalgic, fun-filled, interesting vintage steam train trips that we regularly run.
We are proud of what we do, so we also want to tell you lots about our club, what it does, its aims and its objectives. We want to boast about the massive efforts that our members voluntarily put in to restore, preserve and run genuine vintage steam locomotives and trains for the education and delight of the South African public. We are all railway-mad (many of us are also steam-train-mad) so we want to relate heaps more about railways in general and steam trains in particular.
They say that a picture tells a thousand words, so we have provided two areas to share rail photos with you: one on the main website; and another on our Forum site (where you can sign up, join in and share your pics with us).
Go ahead and browse this website using the menus across the top of this page. Those who are in a hurry to get to one of the major areas can click on a button below:
- Details of upcoming vintage steam train trips open to the public
- Interesting information about railway preservation and FOTR in particular
- Our "Forum" pages where you can read about railway related activities and post your own pictures, observations and comments
