The
gorgeous Timaru
loco shed survived into the early 1908s before being demolished

Two
of them fancy-schmancy new DFs in Timaru, one at the head of the
'Blue and Gold Express' rugby special. The Batchelor and Bond
boys used to travel up to Timaru in the school holidays on the
Road Services bus and we spent some time on that overbridge,
watching the signals, signalbox, wagon turntable and the passing
parade of history.
