The original Inchanga viaduct opened in March 1880, and routed through Wallacetown. The Inchanga deviation
and station opened 24/4/1892.
The Inchanga viaduct was dismantled in 1897. Most of the 6 spans were used elsewhere to provide small bridging facilities across gorges for new lines. |

Since those early days the Inchanga Conservancy has taken over
the running of the site and provides the craft market and food stalls for every running day of the
train. Come relax
and have fun. Outside visitors
are welcome to join in the fun and the day out in the country-side. |

There is an operating HO gauge model railway, situated in the grey building at the craft stalls end of the platform.
