Pleasant Point Railway & Historical Society (Inc)

The Pleasant Point Railway is dedicated to preserving heritage railway locomotives, rolling stock, and equipment for future generations.

Pleasant Point, Canterbury

The Pleasant Point Museum & Railway operates entirely on volunteer effort. The upkeep and restoration of buildings, rail tracks, rolling stock, and locomotives keeps our members very busy.

But the enormous costs associated with all of this work just cannot be met by the money received during operating days. The materials needed for track upkeep, rolling stock restoration, locomotive repairs, and other special projects will be bought with donations made through Givealittle.

More about us

We are a Museum and Heritage Railway in Pleasant Point. Formed in the 1970s, we are devoted to the restoration of various railway exhibits including our two steam locos and collection of carriages that we operate for the public throughout the year.

Expat Kiwi here, living in the USA. Love the work you do and ABs are my favorite NZR steam locomotive, so please take this small amount and put it towards work on 699. My kids and I have enjoyed the Youtube clips! I'll donate annually from now on, and I'll come visit when I'm next back in NZ. Thank you.
