WEKA PASS RAIL

Eating a sausage while waiting to board.
One person manpowered jigger.

Fellow parishoner, Guard John.


"DG" loco, I used to work on these as part of my apprenticeship.



On to the turntable in preparation for the return journey.




Two men, one loco.





Passing cars, Weka Pass






Very narrow cuttings through the Pass as they were all done with pick,shovel and wheelbarrow.
