With the opening of the Bain’s Kloof pass through the mountains in 1853, and the railway ten years later, the farming community in Wellington swelled. It is not a great centre of activity, so it is curious that every passenger train makes a forced stop at Wellington. This is because the man who donated his land for the station, did so on condition that every train stopped there and even the long distance express trains pull in for a few minutes to adhere to this old rite of passage. |
