Railways in the Antipodes.

As you will have seen I am a marine engineer whose service began at sea. I have mentioned passing Hartland point outward bound for New Zealand. Well in my early days steam was still in use in and around Wellington Docks. Here on Lambton Quay Wellington steam was the prime motive power used

My own service in those days were in the ships of the New Zealand Shipping Company. Ships such as Cumberland, Sussex, Westmorland and Wild Auk.
