The perfect interactive souvenir booklet that tells the history of each former Railway Station Site. The proceeds of the Otago Central Rail Trail Official Passport is used for the development and enhancement of the 152 kilometre Rail Trail experience.
To date we have relocated old railway buildings, built replicate shelters with information boards telling the stories of the area, provided all the historical information signage, picnic tables, seating, native plantings, along with creating the Interplanetary Solar System plus Rail Tales on our website, an educational tool for schools and you. This is a place to learn more about the history of the area and we are about to tell more about the ecology of the area.
We have some more Landscape Plans to complete, more shelters to build along with so much more, so please ask your Cycle Operator to include a $15.00 Passport for you in your Cycle Tour Package.
If you are riding independently, great but please consider purchasing a Passport from a Cycle Operator or from us (admin@otagocentralrailtrail.co.nz) so together, we can make riding the Otago Central Rail Trail an even greater experience.
Thanks in advance for your needed support, it is truly appreciated.
Collect Stickers As You Go
At each station site a red-painted replica of a NZ Railways Department emergency phone box houses a sketch that matches to a sticker in your Passport. Record your journey by placing the sticker into the corresponding station site.
