Wairarapa railcar at Kaitoke


Kaitoke is at one end of the 17 km Rimutaka Incline walkway/cycleway (see previous posts for more info). The old Kaitoke station is now on private land, but is still discernable nearby. Derek Cross took this picture of a Wellington-bound Wairarapa-type railcar entering the station area in the last days of operation over this route in October 1955 before the new route, including the Rimutaka tunnel, was opened.
