Bob Norling points out some of the features on the railway signal box which arrived at the Junction at about 5am on Wednesday. Bob told the Bulletin the building is about 100 years old and that, while it is not the one Main Trunk Rail Ohakune first intended moving, it would provide a unique opportunity for visitors. He said there were very few intact signal boxes in the country, and even fewer in a condition suitable for people to look through. The ninetonne building (much of the weight is in the signals equipment) has been laid on its side to allow for easier access for some of the refurbishment work.
