Poll: Do you think Taumarunui needs some new rail opportunities?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The spirits of Taumarunui’s rail carriage graveyard have been exorcised after KiwiRail removed the disused and damaged units from rail yards in the King Country town.

The move has reignited calls from the Ruapehu District Council to resurrect Taumarunui’s link to the country’s main trunk line, which have been backed by management at the town’s newly built $90 million pet food factory.

The dama wallaby, which had an immature joey in its pouch, was spotted in Frankton on March 3, reported and killed, Waikato Regional Council says.
