Although the Westfield deviation will not be open for goods traffic until about May 1 this new 10-mil.e section of railway has boasted a regular railway time-table of its own for nearly six months (reports the “New Zealand Herald”). It was on September 3 last that a.schedule of time was prepared for the Public Works trains carrying ballast for the construction of the railway and waterfront road embankments. It provided for the running of eight trains daily between Sylvia Park station and Hobson Bay. At present 13 locomotives are engaged on the deviation, of which nine are the small puffing billies,” familiar wherever the Public Works Department wields its pioneering spade.
