Wairarapa Line [0MM]: Volume 6 Progress Update 39
Good morning. With a big push throughout yesterday and well into the small hours, we have completed the last 70 km of the Wairarapa Line main line corridor to Woodville at 171 km. This obviously helps us to get a lot closer to finishing this volume. We have still a little work here and there…

Wairarapa Line [0LL]: Volume 6 Progress Update 38
As we have now managed to push through another 10 km of the Wairarapa line and have now reached the 101 km peg, some stats are in order. Total maps produced in volume 6 so far: 1139. This is more than the total number for Volume 5, even though Volume 5’s corridors, all-up, are probably…

Wairarapa Line [0KK]: Volume 6 Progress Update 37
Good morning. At the moment progress on anything to do with maps is going very slowly, but we are pushing along and have almost completed the maps to Masterton. Currently the mosaics for there are being updated to 1980 and 1983 to reflect new sidings that were found in the area since 1972 which is…

Wairarapa Line [0II]: Volume 6 Progress Update 35
Good afternoon. As you can see from the lack of updates over the last week we have been somewhat delayed in completing this volume, mainly due to a higher priority given to finishing a part of the Greater Christchurch maps for Christchurch Transport Blog. The work on completing the last stage of Volume 6 commenced…

Wairarapa Line [0HH]: Volume 6 Progress Update 34
Good evening. We have today completed the second to last step before the maps are ready to be published. We drew all of the historical yard layouts off mosaic tiles, from Cross Creek to Ngawapurua. In the process of doing this we discovered extra detail from 1941 at the Waingawa Freezing Works (siding layout changed)…

Wairarapa Line [0GG]: Volume 6 Progress Update 33
Good afternoon. Excellent progress continues to be made on the Volume 6 completion, even though the mosaics have had further revisions. When the yard layout was drawn for Featherston Station, it was realised that an older version of this map was also needed for some historical information and so we have added 1957 and 1961…

Wairarapa Line [0FF]: Volume 6 Progress Update 32
Good afternoon. We are pleased to report that all mosaics needed to complete Volume 6 have now been created, and are being exported into tiles for Qgis today. This will enable us to resume a much speeded up rate of completion for the maps to be pushed forward with station and other layouts drawn from…

Wairarapa Line [0EE]: Volume 6 Progress Update 31
Good morning. We have been making good progress with the Wairarapa Line maps since our last update and have completed aligning the corridor for the entire route. This means now all we need to do is draw in a few stations and then produce the remaining maps (currently produced up to Summit). To get these…
