About the Dockyard’s Railway
At its peak, it was estimated that there were approximately 17 miles of standard-gauge railway within the Dockyard. Today, there is just under 1 mile of track remaining. The section (laid tramway style) starts just outside the Historic Dockyard (adjacent to No.7 Slip) and runs through the middle of the site to the far end of Anchor Wharf.
Please Note
Please note, the railway is operated by volunteers. Occasionally, crew shortages, mechanical difficulties, or adverse weather conditions may force us to alter or cancel an advertised event.
CHDT cannot guarantee the times that the locomotive and/or crane will operate.
