an NZR ED class electric locomotive in the short distance between NIMT tunnels 1 and 2

On its way to Paekakariki where it would be replaced with a steam locomotive, probably taken about 1950-1951 before the EW class arrived in 1952. Although the first two passenger cars are the older wood sided ones, the third is a steel sided one.

For info and lots more, see the books Railway Electrification in Australia and New Zealand and Wellington Transport Memories.
