To the rijht of tho picture can be seen the western portal of-the Tawa Flat tunnel, a spot that will become very busy as time goes on. Opposite the tunnel mouth is the first: of six bridges which will cross the small stream familiar to motorists along the main north road. Another is out of: light on the left. Just behind the office on the extreme left of the picture is what is left of "Piebald Corner," a knob which has been cut away to allow the line of the tunnel to be continued. The picture was taken from the main road, which does not show, what looks like a road being the railway track for spoil to make embankments on the creek. Tho four spoil trucks on a spur line leading up the gully to the left point the direction where most of the spoil will be dumped. It will fill the gully and to spare, but no doubt It will all come in useful in the future, as most of it will serve as ballast. On the hill immediately above these trucks will be buitt the winding station for a. miniature "Kelburn tramway," which will hoist tho spoil as the dump grows, enabling trucks to be run in below bins and filled readily as ballast is wanted. The railway train may be seen on the level of the present line, 160 ft abqve the new, which drops from this portal to Wellington. Fifty-three chains further on, at the vertical shaft, near the viaduct, the difference in the levels of the old and new lines is 257 ft, and the difference increases all the way to Johnsonvifla. The difference between the highest point .of the deviation where the picture was taken and tho old line at Johnsonville is 323 ft.
