NZR J class 2-6-0 steam locomotive with a train from Dunedin to Christchurch, early 20th century

The 33 of the 2-6-0 type that were built in 1874 and designated J class were the first engines in NZ to have a tender; the previous classes were all tank engines. 

The original caption of this press photo stated it was taken near Pelichet Bay, an inlet of the Otago Harbour which frequently silted up, especially after the causeway was built for the South Island Main Trunk Railway between Dunedin and Port Chalmers.

Reclamation began in 1913 and continued after WWI, at which time the area was linked with the central city by a tree-lined boulevard, Anzac Avenue, leading straight to Anzac Square and the Dunedin Railway Station. The area is now known as Logan Park.
