Title
The Plains Vintage Railway and Historical Museum, Ashburton, Canterbury, New Zealand
Description
he Plains was officially opened to the public in 1973. From the first seeds that were sown at the end of 1968 when the former Tinwald to Mt Somers Branchline was closed, a genuine pioneer country village has grown, from where the Vintage Railway now operates over 3 km of the remaining branchline. Within the village there has developed an extensive
Historical Museum with a strong rural flavour -a flavour that flows through to the farmland alongside the railway, much of which is farmed by The Museum utilizing their vintage equipment, which can be seen in use for much of the year.
