Hutt workshops

27th March 2004

A visit to the perimeter fence of the Hutt Workshops on 23rd March 2004 found these locos stored. Access for those locals interested is via Moana Grove. At the end of the street there is a large area being redeveloped (presumably into housing) and currently large piles of dirt and rubble which give a bit of elevation over the electrified fence!

A further visit was made on 30th January 2005. These photos are locoated at end end of the collection.

DC4594 languishes in the yard.	A closer view of DC4536 and ex-WestRail A1510. DC4444 can be just glimpsed behind partly covered with a tapaulin.
