great days of steam on the Canterbury Plains

Our posts on the South Island Main Trunk last month saw our book on it sell out.  So one more photo (not used in the book) as a thank you to those who bought the book - here is Ja 1267 on a Christchurch to Timaru special run on Saturday 9 October 1971.  The locomotive was bought by the Te Awamutu Museum the following year and sold at auction two years ago to the Mainline Steam Trust which has it stored in its Parnell depot in Auckland.
