Date: pre-1903 Type: Railway Station Status: Unknown

"Alexandra Junction is a station on the lagoon of the Umzinto River, at the joining of the Umzinto Branch. The environment is exceedingly choice, and a lovely view is gathered from the hill behind the station, where an hotel is seen. A Railway refreshment room will be found on the station platform... Umzinto is 6,5 miles from the South Coast Line at Alexandra Junction, and the Branch train makes connection with the several passenger trains to and from Durban." (Source: CW Francis Harrison. 1903.
