Historic Tunnel at Waterval Boven - Probably the best-known and most famous of all NZASM structures

Post by Steve Appleton »

"Historic Tunnel at Waterval Boven - Probably the best-known and most famous of all NZASM structures". By James Ball.
"The authors of NZASM 100, the definitive study of the railway architecture of the Nederlandsche Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij (NZASM), describe the tunnel at Waterval Boven as ‘probably the best-known and most famous of all NZASM structures’. We visited this Provincial Heritage Site recently and it is certainly a sight to behold. Add the overall natural beauty of the area and the view of the stunning Elands Waterfall and it is not surprising that the site is a major tourist attraction."
The story is on The Heritage Portal here:
