60 years ago - Vulcans at Stillwater and Westport


Coupled Vulcan railcars are seen at Stillwater and Westport in 1951.  This run was one of two passenger routes in the South Island exclusively operated by the Vulcan railcars because of tight track curvatures (the other was Otago Central).  The passenger service generally on this run was axed in 1967.  For more info, see our books.
