Lifting An 'Lc' Wagon At Waverley Station
(New Zealand)
Founded in 1989, the 'Friends of the Waverley Railway Station Inc' is coming to an end in Nov 2013 & the museum's rail collection will be sent to new homes.
This is a video showing the removal of an 'Lc' highsider wagon from the redundant museum yard. Apparently the wagon was aquired in 1989 from the closed Patea Freezing Works at the same time the freezing works shunting tractor was saved for preservation & driven down the line to Waverley. The wagon was fitted out with former commuter carrage seating & could accommodate about 25 passengers at once. From the early 1990's onwards, the wagon & shunting tractor used to be run in tandem around the yard on open days & also on short excursions to Waverley Racecourse. That was until this practise was frowned upon by the transport safety authorities in 1996.
Here we see the wagon being loaded onto a road transporter for delivery to it's new home with SteamRail Wanganui. The wagon was placed at the SteamRail shed later in the day.
In 2013, an unknown fate hangs over Waverley's heritage rail buildings. KiwiRail recently removed Waverley yard's 'North Turnout' as it was in need of maintaince & not required as part of the active network.
Some further Waverley wagons (not in this video) are destined to be delivered to NZ's 'National Railway Museum' under development at Christchurch.
Lifting A 'Yb' Wagon At Waverley Station
New Zealand.
Founded in 1989, the 'Friends of the Waverley Railway Station Inc' is coming to an end in Nov 2013 and the museum collection the station group cared for will be sent to new homes. This is a video showing the removal of 'Yb' 622 from the redundant museum yard. The wagon is being loaded onto a road transporter for delivery to it's new home with SteamRail Wanganui. The wagon was placed at the SteamRail yard near the Wanganui turntable at Taupo Quay later in the day.
The Waverley Railway station was built in 1881. It served passenger services until 1977. The stationmaster was withdrawn in 1986 when freight services stopped shunting the goods yard. Locals held the station in high regard and saved the buildings and yard to form a rural musuem attraction.
Opened formally in 1993, the station group aquired vintage wagons for display through the rest of the 1990's including this hopper wagon.
As the years rolled on, interest in the station group sadly declined. Older members who had begun the preservation group were not being replaced with new members when it was time to take a step aside. Waverley township has a small population base from which to try and gain new volunteer members from.
Harsher safety regulations (imposed from 1996 onwards) prevented the group from ever again running short excursions along the Marton- New Plymouth Line with their highsider 'Lc' passenger wagon coupled to their Simplex shunting tractor. The loss of this activity also dampened enthusiasim and hampered membership growth.
In 2013, an unknown fate hangs over the heritage buildings on the site and KiwiRail recently removed Waverley yard's 'North Turnout' as it was in need of maintaince and not required as part of the active network.
Some further Waverley wagons (not in this video) are destined to be delivered to NZ's 'National Railway Museum' under development at Christchurch.

WELLINGTON TROLLEYBUS (2017) [R.I.P. 2017]
Das O-Bussystem in Wellington zählte bis zur Stilllegung am 31.10.2017 als letztes städtische Netz, welches im Linksverkehr bedient wurde (außgenommen Museumsbetriebe). Die Entscheidung zur Stilllegung fand international große Kritik und wurde aufgrund des Ersatzes mehrfach verschoben. Diese Szenen zeigen nocheinmal das ganze Streckennetz im aktiven O-Busverkehr, welches von den erst jungen Designline-Fahrzeugen bedient wurde. Leider wurden zahlreiche Kurse bereits durch Dieselbusse ersetzt, bedingt durch nichtmehr einsatzfähig gehaltene Fahrzeuge. O-Busse fuhren zur Besuchszeit tlw. auch nurnoch werktags und das bis etwa 20 Uhr...dannach folgte komplette Dieselverkehr bis in die Nacht. Der umweltfreundliche Stadtverkehr per O-Bus sollte durch ein umweltfreundliches Energiespeichersystem ersetzt werden, welches auf die ehemaligen O-Busse umgebaut wird. Jedoch scheiterte dieses Vorhaben und man setzte nach Stilllegung auf gebrauchte Dieselbusse - eine Entscheidung, welche im Jahr 2017 wohl bei keinem normal-denkenden Menschen auf dieser Welt auf Verständniss trifft.
