Kind of historic


Today's picture is more recent than it looks, although the historic aspect is still there as the old Petone station in the background has since been demolished and replaced with something simpler.

The station's historic integrity had been much compromised by alterations over the years and it seems the powers that be simply decided to replace it with something basic. The tall flagpole is still there, however, and the old English Electric EMU still exists too -- it is the restored 'Cyclops' that we have commented on before, although it now has OSH yellow ends.
