Steam train returns
The age of steam is making a return trip to the Waimarino at Easter. Ka945, a steam locomotive owned by Steam Incorporated, a group of railway enthusiasts, will be stopping off at Ohakune on Easter Friday on its "around the mountain" threeday excursion, from Wellington to Ohakune, to Taumarunui, to Ohura and Whangamomona, Stratford, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Palmerston North, and Wellington. The train is likely to include four vintage carriages plus a car-van in support and carry 200 passengers, 60 per cent of whom are expected to be Steam Incorporated members. The trip is being organised following numerous enquiries, said organiser Wendy Bailey. Ka 945, which spent much of its life in Taumarunui as well as this area, visited Ohakune two years ago.
