@paulhellyer Great photo too. Are there any non-tourist passenger trips in that part of the country these days?

@billbennett Sadly, I have no idea these days. Every time I pay a visit to Wingatui - purely for nostalgic reasons - it seems quieter than last time. Back in the day, my grandmother could set her watch by the trains as they came through. She knew every single one. I can recall as a small boy catching a steam train from Dunedin to Wingatui to stay with them - unaccompanied! I can still recall the sound of the train's whistle. Scared me half to death, to be honest it was so loud!
