Port Alfred Railway Line

The Port Alfred Railway Line is a non-electrified railway line, that connects Alicedale with Grahamstown and Port Alfred in South Africa.

The construction of the line was part of the massive expansion of the Cape Colony's railway system, that was begun in the 1870s by Prime Minister John Molteno and the Cape Government Railways.

Until 2008 the line was served by one Shosholoza Meyl passenger train per day in each direction between Grahamstown and Alicedale.
