Fantastic results ^

Site of the Wellington Train disaster 1910, concrete snow sheds were built to avoid another one... then a re-route and very long tunnel was built.
You can still wander through the old snow shed up at Steven's Pass.

I believe this section was built in 1914...


Best to avoid the crumbly bits


Official notice


Most of this section still standing 104 years later- pretty spooky


You want to go hiking where?

Still bits of the train downhill from the memorial 108 years after the disaster
