Thanks for posting this Heather. When our family used to drive to Nelson I loved seeing the remnants of the old railway from the back window.
John Hunt
Interesting to bike it. Very cold inside and you cannot see the end of tunnel light until at least half way due to the gradient.
Jill Smith
We have cycled through it. A great ride definitely need a torch though.

Sorry Donald,you did not go near the tunnel while you were on the road,yes it’s just about 66 years ago since the line was stoped.September 2021,still remember the railway line going over the over bridge on its way back to Nelson,through the small townships.Bob Jamieson
Wasn't this part of the abandoned Nelson rail line?
