'''Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway

In 2000 the former branch of the Umzinto - Donnybrook railway from Ixopo to Umzinkulu (Madonela) was reconstructed by Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway (PCNGR).

As the line was partially lifted after closure in the 1980s, the track was in need of a complete rebuild.

PCNGR established its headquarters and northern terminus at Allwoodburn, formerly the livestock loading station for Ixopo, located on its eastern fringe

Gradually, a fleet of locomotives and rolling stock was acquired from various closed railways in Natal.

Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway was also involved, for a period, in operating the Banana Express, which ran between Port Shepstone and Harding and ceased operations in 2006.

Locomotives used: NG G11 No. 55, two Avonside sugar cane locomotives and two 4 Cylinder Diesel Hunslet shunters'''
