The Canterbury Cruiser

Bring out the family, and ride behind Da 1431 from Christchurch to Rangiora and back!

Travel with Steam Incorporated on a rare South Island rail experience! Join us on one of these special local Christchurch shuttle trains!

A great way to experience what commuter rail might look like if it ever comes back to Christchurch!

The train will be hauled by our Australian-built Da class heritage diesel locomotive and comprise our fleet of classic red carriages, most being over 100 years old.

Join the train at Christchurch's Addington station and travel with the Steam Incorporated team as we travel through the serene North Canterbury region as far as Rangiora. Stop and enjoy a coffee and a bite to eat whilst our locomotive runs to the other end of the train at Rangiora, before setting off for the 30km run back to Addington.

Adult fare $59 return, Child $29 return, Family (2A+2C) $149 return
