The MRT is aiming to build a 2’0” gauge railway into the Apedale Community Country Park, starting at the existing Apedale Heritage Centre, passing close by the former mine buildings which are now the base of the MRT’s operations and the now famous Aurora North storage shed and on for about 500 metres to Apedale Road, which marks the end of Phase One.
Thus, the railway will form a genuine transport need and help people appreciate the wonders of the Country Park.
