James Hall Transport Museum, Transport museum in La Rochelle, Johannesburg, South Africa.

The James Hall Museum of Transport occupies Pioneers' Park beside the Wemmer Pan in La Rochelle, Johannesburg. Its halls and yard hold carriages from 1870 to 1910, penny-farthings, double-decker buses from Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, fire engines from 1877 to 1960, and steam vehicles including a Sentinel steam bus from Pilgrim's Rest. A 1952 RT London double-decker is kept in working order for sightseeing tours.

The museum started in 1964 from a partnership between Jimmie Hall and the City of Johannesburg, when a private vehicle collection became a public institution. It grew into South Africa's largest transport collection and records how movement and travel changed across the region over many decades.

The museum keeps a 1952 RT London double-decker in working order and uses it for sightseeing tours, while a single-decker bus was converted into a travelling Christmas nativity scene. Rickshaws and Cape carts, two-wheeled carriages adapted to South African roads, sit alongside ox wagons and mail coaches from 1870 to 1910.

The museum is located in Pioneers' Park on Rosettenville Road and opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM with free entry. The collection is large, so it helps to allow plenty of time and wear comfortable shoes to walk through and view the many vehicles.

Among the steam vehicles is a 1933 Sentinel steam bus from Pilgrim's Rest, one of several steam lorries, a bus and a crane kept there, some in working order. The 1939 John Fowler B7 "Lion" jib crane also stands in the collection, alongside "Texas Jack", the steam tractor used in the Witwatersrand mines.
