a pair of NZR Ka class 4-8-4's at the Paekakariki engine shed in steam days

The steam era ended on NZR in the North Island in 1967 but this precinct is a home now to the Steam Inc. heritage operation and there are regular steam hauled excursions around the lower North Island lines from there.

For lots more, see the book New Zealand 1950s Steam in colour compiled rom the Derek Cross collection.
