Went up and down the spiral a few times in late 1970’s on the Silver Fern express rail car service. Didn’t realise it was still in use.

[@MBTrainspotting]

Yep, the spiral still sees a fair bit of KiwiRail and Heritage traffic.

As a child living in Wellington NZ in 1965 I can still remember the old steam locomotives .... 🚂🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🌲🏔️🏔️🌲🏔️🌲🏔️🌲

DMU’s on the Okaihau Express and then in and out of Wellington for me, but every children’s playground seemed to have an old steam engine for you to play on
