Bush Tramway Club, Heritage railway in Rotowaro, New Zealand.
The Bush Tramway Club maintains a 5.4-kilometer section of railway track along the former Glen Afton Branch in the Waikato region of New Zealand.
Founded in 1965, this railway organization preserves equipment from New Zealand's bush tramways that transported timber and coal during the early industrial period.
The railway collection includes Climax and Heisler locomotives, NZR F class engines, and diesel shunting locomotives that represent New Zealand's industrial development.
Located 12 kilometers west of Huntly on Rotowaro Road, the railway opens to visitors on the first Sunday of each month for train rides.
The organization maintains ownership of most of the rail corridor land, operating restored locomotives on tracks that previously served the Pukemiro coal mine.
