Umgeni Steam Railway, Heritage railway line in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
The railway operates between Kloof and Inchanga stations, following a track with steep gradients through valleys and indigenous forests of KwaZulu-Natal.
The railway line, constructed in the 1880s to connect Durban and Pietermaritzburg, features a 53-meter tunnel at Drummond built in 1878.
The Inchanga Railway Museum, located in the former Station Master's house, presents exhibitions about South African Railways on operational train days.
Monthly excursion trains run on the last weekend from Inchanga to Bothas Hill, with additional services operating from Pietermaritzburg to Nottingham Road.
The fleet includes rare steam locomotives, including an 1892 Class A 'Dübs A' and several Garratt engines maintained by dedicated volunteers.
