About

A fascinating history of the construction of New Zealand's Kaimai Tunnel on the East Coast Main Trunk Railway.

Tells the story of the Kaimai railway tunnel and deviation as well as the story of the growing economic maturity of two of New Zealand's fastest developing regions. Until the 1950s the existing railway system was adequate to serve the needs of the Bay of Plenty and Waikato, but as the exotic forests planted during the 1930s reached maturity there was a new wave of railway construction of which the Kaimai tunnel and deviation is just one part - albeit a vitally important one.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, line diagrams and maps.
