The Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe crossing the Kaaimans River into Wilderness.
Transnet is set to host an official signing ceremony on Monday at George in the Western Cape, paving the way for the reintroduction of the iconic Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe.
The steam train is finally making a comeback after being out of use since the 2006 floods severely damaged the rail line between George and Knysna.
Transnet granted Classic Rail access to the line recently, following a seemingly never-ending struggle that lasted for almost two decades.
It has acquired all the necessary contracts and has found much-needed funding partners to rebuild the line between George and Knysna, and to relaunch and run the Choo-Tjoe as a tourist attraction.
