Kingston Branch [2F]: Makarewa-Lumsden, Mararoa-Kingston. Mossburn, Hedgehope, Tuatapere, Wairio

I haven’t managed to pin down when the 1964 locomotive shed was demolished but it appears to be sometime between 2008-2013. For the whole of the Southland section of Volume 12, I am at present just making basic map tiles like…
