The Shunting Engine.
The Railway Department is evidently in an economical mood, as in addition to deciding to run no passenger coach on the Pukemiro Line, they have also sent away the shunting engine which has done the work of the Huntly yard for so long, and have sent instead a bigger engine, which is to do the shunting work, and also haul the coal from Pukemiio. As the shunting engine was fuily employed in the yard, it is a bit of a mystery how it is to do the double work. No doubt the Department will soon find the impossibility of .the -tosition, and put matters right, If lit it seems to us that these things could easily be fixed at first, without the inconvenience of the present nosystem.
