Butlers Incline NZ

Post by Annie » Fri Jan 15, 2016 10:46 pm

I thought you'd like to see some photos of Butlers Incline which is the oldest line of railway formation in New Zealand where the rails are still in place. This isn't so far from where I live by the way, so you'll understand why I'm so passionate about the historic tramways in the surrounding districts.

Our Dept of Conservation looks after all this so it's a protected area.

Love the bowler hat.
