ONE OF THE 'GREAT MAIN LINES OF NEW ZEALAND IN THE MAKING: THE PRESENT TERMINUS OF THE EAST COAST RAILWAY AT WAIKOHU, 23 MILES BEYOND GISBORNE.

September 1909. Waikohu is interesting as it had a combined road-rail bridge. There were a lot of these bridges in the early days of railways in NZ, and amazingly one is still in use on the Kiwirail network although it is due to be replaced in the next few years.
