Loop track ballast drop
- Rimutaka Incline Railway
- On Saturday 26 September 2015 the track gang joined up the track sets on the new loop track, and dropped three wagon loads of ballast. By the end of the day the track was able to be used to store five ballast wagons, freeing up our mainline track.

A BOUQUET FOR KATHERINE MANSFIELD
- Katherine Mansfield House
- It's Spring and despite slashing southerlies, flowers are everywhere. Katherine Mansfield once declared that if she only had sixpence left for a meal, a bunch of violets for the table would come first. Her love of flowers and the natural world runs through all her work, both published short stories and her diaries and journals.

Loop track construction update
- Rimutaka Incline Railway
- More progress with our loop track at Maymorn, following on from the previous Loop track build starts story from July and August. Rails have been crowed to form the curve off the double slip, cut and drilled. Good to finish that part of the loop and get on to the straight lengths.
