Hook-a-Duck with the Steam Crane

See the steam crane in action with a fun and oversized game of hook-a-duck.

Using the flags, can you help the team hook the ducks?

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.
