Weka Pass railway

Weka Pass railway

A restored steam engine travels along the Weka Pass railway. After the Waiau branch railway line closed in 1978, there were plans to develop a section of the line for tourists. The Weka Pass railway now runs from Waipara through the scenic Weka Pass to Waikari.
