Steam to Paekakariki

Recalling the glory days of steam-hauled expresses on the main lines, preserved locomotive KA 945, a 4-8-4 type, heads a special train from Wellington to Paekakariki in February 1988, about 2 km from its destination, which is also the base of the Steam Incorporated museum operation.  A photo by Stu Hammond that was considered for but not used in the book Wellington Transport Memories.
