Andrew Mckenzie Yep sure is, was it the miners dance trip going back to Runanga?

ShirleyandBruce Shadbolt
I don't think its the Hoki trip. We had a late lunch at Hoki and went back to Greymouth in the afternoon.

Dennis Gibbs
Looks like a model. Great picture.
Had a Hornby Dublo of this engine as a kid. Sure of it.

Stu Ridley
Good shot of the bridge in its original form with the timber rail beams being used!

Robin Gibbens
I have some great memories of walking across the bridge on a Sunday night after having tea with my grandfather who lived above the rail line on the south side . He would watch and make sure l got across safely and on my way home. I loved those Sunday teas of cold lamp Haywards chow chow and pickled onions. Happy times he was an unreal man

Lesley Oakley
I am from Paroa and walked across that bridge lots of times.

Judy Kemp
Lesley Oakley me too.

Judy Kemp
Walked the bridge many times, but rode my bike under the bridge and up the Rutherglen Road to home. Great memories.

Marilyn Iggulden
Walked across this bridge many times when I was a child & lived in Paroa. Great memories, thanks for sharing.

Jackie Loughnan
That train looks like the 1 they use at Shantytown
