New Rail Cars
“Excellent progress is being made at the Hutt Valley railway workshops both in the manufacture of new standard rail-cars for general use and in the preparation of multiple units for the Wellington-Johnsonville line,” said the Minister of Railways, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, last evening. “In a recent visit to the workshops,” added the Minister, “I was greatly impressed by the strength and beauty of the design and workmanship displayed in the six new standard rail-cars. These are a revelation of what our own railwaymen can do in manufacturing vehicles which include all the features most desired by passengers travelling by rail, and I am sure that when the new rail-cars are put into service they will be very popular on the lines where they operate.”
