Slowly but surely, the Gisborne-Moutohora railway is disappearing from the face of the country, leaving behind only fragmentary traces of the line which was opened at such great expense of work and money in the days when railway communications were the hallmark of a country's progress.
A special crane at work lifting girders from the Rakaroa viaduct. Last month's wet conditions did not make the work any easier for the gangs.
No tracks, almost no windows. The Matawai railway station without its railway.
Meanwhile road communications are being improved. This new bridge at Otoko is constructed on single caissons. (Pictures by Eastland Photographers).
