The second in this set of posts.
The other well known railway in golden bay was the Takaka tramway. This ran from the Waitapu wharf down the main street of Takaka and off up the valley a ways to a collecting of sawmills.
Unfortunately there's seems to be nothing left of this railway (it did close over 100 years ago). There was no evidence of any railway fittings at the wharf, and the rest of the route has been covered by roads. Google earth suggests that there are some signs of the formation left but these are on private property so are virtually impossible to get at.
No photos with this post as there is nothing left to see. I thought I had found some bridge abutments but these turned out to be associated with the roads in the area.
