"Cutting Through the Magaliesberg"
The Magaliesberg is a modest quartzite mountain range in northern South Africa, spanning across two provinces. It begins south of the Pilanesberg, curves through suburban Pretoria, and extends approximately 50 km east to just south of Bronkhorstspruit.
Towering over the northern suburbs of Pretoria, the Magaliesberg offers only one escape route through a narrow valley in Wonderboom, where rail, road, and the mighty Apies River flow through.
From the Wonderboom Nature Reserve, Wonder Steam Train’s first public run, led by the class 15F No. 3117, can be seen slowly departing the northern suburbs of Pretoria and entering the valley, heading towards Pyramid South.
