Good to know: Ceres Rail still operates but the advertised Cape Town-to-Ceres run over Mitchell's Pass is discontinued; current products are the Cape Town to Elgin Railway Market day trip (from R750 day-sitter, up to ~R3950) and the short Overberg Explorer from Botrivier (R320 adult), so this listing must be rewritten to the Elgin route. Details may have changed — please confirm before you go.
Take an iconic trip with Ceres Rail Company on a Class 19D locomotive #3321, named Jessica, manufactured in 1948. Enjoy the peaceful sounds of the train with friends and family – a wonderfully mesmerising journey over Mitchell’s Pass into Ceres before returning to Cape Town as the sun sets over Signal Hill.
