Otago Central Railway [64B]: Middlemarch-Ranfurly 2 – Waipiata 1
It’s two months since I started a series for the Middlemarch to Ranfurly section of the OCR. There weren’t at that stage any maps in production for the series. Since that time I have gone back and redone some of the earliest maps with new higher resolution coverage which has thrown the whole schedule back.…

Otago Central Railway [61Z]: Alexandra-Cromwell 23 – 2nd Clyde Station 2
Last time I posted the 1972/77 aerial photos of Clyde station had some problems that needed to be fixed. It looks like the aerial images of a 1977 survey were significantly distorted, perhaps the plane that took the photos was not level. Anyone who has used a data projector knows about keystone adjustments you have…

MSL Branches [16B]: Glenham Branch 2 – Wyndham 1
Wyndham was the terminus of the Glenham Branch between 1882-1890 and again from 1930-1962 when the line finally closed. This map is based on 1938 imagery. The goods shed still exists today.

MSL Branches [16A]: Glenham Branch 1 – Edendale 1
Just a quick look at Edendale, 1974 and today. The turntable at the north end was installed sometime between 1947 and 1955. I don’t have any documentation of there being a turntable in any other location at Edendale but the original locomotive depot at Glenham closed with the Wyndham-Glenham section of the branch line in…

Palmerston North Gisborne Line [3B]: Gisborne City 2
Here are a couple of views of some of the sidings in Gisborne, many of which are now non existent. Apart from these we also have the main yard, the sidings on the Makaraka Branch, the wharf sidings and the ones for the other stations in the area which will be drawn up in due…
