CONSTRUCTION OF THE GREAT EAST COAST RAILWAY: A BRIDGE AND TUNNEL ON THE ROUTE AT WAIHUKA, NEAR THE PRESENT RAIL HEAD.

September 1909. This is the No.3 tunnel near the present day commencement of the Otoko Walkway. The stream today is much further away from the tunnel, clearly having been diverted for the highway diversion and the gully filled in.
