When Transnet discontinued daily steam operations during 1991, Reefsteamers was established at the old loco shed in Germiston We aim to offer a very competitive, comfortable and efficient service to our passengers as the success of the organisation and consequently the preservation of steam relies heavily on our ability to fund our projects We are affiliated to the Transnet Heritage Foundation and are controlled under their auspices To sustain this endeavour, however, we require a wide range of sponsorships to support the huge tasks of restoration, maintenance, storage and running of steam locomotives
Reefsteamers welcomes you on board the NEW Heidelberg Wanderer. Take Jozi's own steam train to one of South Africa's most interesting towns. Steeped in history, this town, at the foot of the Suikerbosrand, once acted as a capital during the Anglo Boer War. The 48 km journey takes you through breathtaking farmlands and countryside to the border of Gauteng and Mpumalanga.
