an ED locomotive northbound on the Pukerua Bank, 1951


We realised our scan of page 59 of the new book Trains on the Trunk (29 November) didn't do the top photo justice, so here it is again.  The slight colour cast correction and the rotation by 2 degrees is ours, something the publisher should have done too.  The photo is dated 24 February 1951, a year before the more powerful EW locomotives arrived.

There isn't much that can be done about the bottom photo on that page, however.
