Matangi at Taita


Having mentioned the rail model show, here's a full size northbound train at Taita station, which has Streamline Moderne styling and was opened in April 1947. It is 20 km from Wellington on the Hutt Valley Line.  Unlike the Kapiti Line, this still features some original hardwood catenary masts, which are being steadily replaced with galvanized steel masts
