SUNDAY TRAINS
Sir, —May I ask the manager of the Railways why a goods train full of coal was run on Sunday, May 21, through Mid-Canterbury-, also a return train to Christchurch? Is there no consideration for the Christian Sabbath left, for those who desire to honour it?—Yours, etc., BRITISHER. Rakaia, May 22, 1950. [This letter was referred to the District Traffic Manager of Railways at Christchurch (Mr W. A. Breach), who said: “The train in question was run to balance the crew and locomotive of a stock train running from Invercargill to • Christchurch. The power was available, and the opportunity was taken to dispatch loads on hand for Bouthern stations.”]
