Point 50th;
Today, 2nd March 2018, is the 50th anniversary of the closure of the Fairlie Branch line in New Zealand.The line lay dormant for some time before the track was lifted.
When the line closed a group of people wanted to keep something of the line as a reminder of the railway.
Fairlie did not seem interested but there was strong interest in Pleasant Point, part way up the branch. Those people were able to purchase the Pleasant Point railway station, an old Ab steam locomotive for static display and a short length of track for it to sit on.
So, began the Pleasant Point Museum and Railway Society.
They never believed then, that 50 years later they would have the setup that is here now and Ab699 steaming again but due to a lot of hard work by a number of people they have relaid 2.5Km of track, built the Keanes Crossing complex and became one of South Canterbury’s top tourist attractions.
They are running again this weekend 4th March with steam locomotive D16 in control of the train and Rm4 running as well.
I have made up this video of the progress during the 45 plus years I have been a member. Early scans of the photos are not the best quality. Sorry.
