‘ ‘ Efforts are being made to reduce delays to trains shunting at intermediate stations/' states the annual report of the Railway Board. “Some measure of success has been obtained by use of a tractor fitted with railway wheels for work in yards where a fair amount of wagon-movement is necessary. One has been tried with satisfactory results at Putaruru. Two additional tractors fitted for road use have since been obtained—one for service at Feilding, and one at Ashburton. It is proposed to extend the use of these tractors as circumstances permit." •
