Serious traffic delays, both railway and road, have resulted from the breakaway on Friday night of the railway embankment near Pukerua Bay, near Wellington. Top: The main highway buried under the debris, which has made the road impassable. Traffic has been diverted to the old highway over the Paekakariki Hill. Below: Looking up from the main highway at the embankment which fell away, leaving both sets of rails on the Main Trunk line suspended in the air.
