The Station

A country railway station with more than a century of service heads into a new era as the home of a very unique railway heritage museum.
From the outset in the 1890's, Pahiatua was provided with quite a substantial railway station, goods shed and yard with about four yard tracks or sidings as they are known, plus several smaller dead end extensions to these for various purposes.
The station building itself was built to the railways standard ‘Class 2’ design , which was fairly large and an indication that the district was expected to grow and provide substantial business in the future.

Where on earth did you get that extraordinarily good footage of the Wairarapas' early diesel era? I've seen snippets in the memory line incline video, and there's even more and better snippets here. Is there more? Is it viewable? I've always found that transition era really interesting, and as my late mum as a resident of Featherston remembered the incline very well, theres always been a bit of a family attachment to the South Wairarapa, and those shots of the great wairarapa English electric motive power just brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyable video :)
