A Greymouth Railcar Driver is quoted as.. "A mini drove onto the bridge from the opposite end to my railcar.. I never imagined a mini could stop so quick, and travel so fast in reverse.".......

Old Landing bridge looking south. This bridge crosses the Inangahua river south of Inangahua junction. Not to confused with the Iron bridge .

John My thoughts as well. Perhaps waiting to see a train or railcar coming off the bridge to photograph.

Ian Schroder
Myron Caldwell Probably out of braking ruts on left and ready to swing wide onto bridge and follow train

Thanks for the memories. Many times driving from Nelson to Reefton I felt really calm once I got to this bridge. Except when I saw a train coming up behind me lol
