THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN IMPORTANT NORTH ISLAND RAILWAY: BUILDING THE GREAT OTOKO VIADUCT, AT THE NORTHERN END OF THE EAST COAST LINE.

October 1911. The viaduct was clearly patterned after the similar structures on the recently opened North Island Main Trunk. The tallest of the two steel piers still stands in the river to this day.
