Hutchinson, South Africa

Hutchinson is a village and former railway junction in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.

It is located 12 kilometres (7 mi) south-east of Victoria West, on the Cape Town–Kimberley railway line.

Hutchinson was founded on the arrival of the railway line from Cape Town in 1883, as a station named Victoria West Road.

In 1905 Hutchinson became a junction when a branch line to Victoria West and Carnarvon was opened.

It was closed in 2001, but passenger trains on the main line still stop at Hutchinson to serve Victoria West.
