OPENING UP A RICH DISTRICT: THE OTOKU VIADUCT, ON THE EAST COAST RAILWAY, 31 MILES FROM GIS BRONE, AND THE PRESENT TERMINUS OF THE LINE THAT WILL ONE DAY LINK UP AUCKLAND AND GISBORNE

June 1912. As previously noted the taller of the two piers still stands today despite the removal more than 50 years ago of the viaduct itself. The road going under the far side was the main highway for many years.
