Sponsor a Sleeper

The Derwent Valley Railway is getting ready to start operating again and we need your help to make it happen. The Derwent Valley Line hasn't had any track maintenance in over fifteen years and is in need of refurbishment.

While the rails are in generally good condition, many of the sleepers (the ties that hold the rails together) are in need of replacement. For just $15.00 you can sponsor a sleeper and help us re-open the Derwent Valley line one sleeper at a time.

We're starting with the 500m section at New Norfolk Station between Third Avenue and Back River Rd (shown on the map).
