Alexandra Timber Tramway is great fun for all ages.THE Alexandra Timber Tramway (ATT) is a steam railway and logging museum, which takes a step back in time.
A trip over the Black Spur will find you in Alexandra where ATT volunteers have put together an attraction which is not only educational, it’s great fun for all ages.
The aim has been to recreate the bush sawmill and tramway era of the Rubicon Forest, 1900-1950, to rescue and restore the small industrial locomotives and rolling stock and to create a tourist attraction for the district.
The Alexandra Timber Tramway grew out of the Alexandra and District Historical Society. The volunteers started with one operational locomotive, a short section of track, and the run-down station buildings at Alexandra.
What is on offer now are eight operational locomotives, one kilometre of track and a refurbished station building.
Additional facilities include a locomotive depot, a carriage storage facility, a fully fitted-out mechanical workshop, and new toilet and picnic facilities.
While there is much to see at the Alexandra Timber Tramway for the railway enthusiast, the ATT is primarily aimed at families and tour groups wanting a fun day out for themselves and their children.
Kids love to ride the trains, while adults will the three display rooms and our numerous outdoor exhibits tremendously interesting.
