Christopher Riley, aged seven, of Christchurch, eyes the view from the back of the Otago excursion train at Lyttelton. The train has been chartered for 10 days by the Ferrymead Railway and is being used for special excursion trips, such as the shuttle service operated between Lyttelton and Christchurch on Saturday. Profits made from the trips will be used for rebuilding and restoration at Ferrymead Railway. The train’s arrival coincided with the Railway and Locomotive Society’s annual convention in Christchurch at Labour Day week-end. More than 120 delegates from throughout New Zealand and Australia attended.
