The tunnel shown in the attached photo is one in the Auckland region possibly Epson. This is not the first occasion that this photo has been used for this purpose. I was at both Heathcote and Lyttelton railways for many years and know this area extremely well. Also to verify my remarks, the early Lyttelton line was built to broad guage and for a short period had broad gauge until it was re gauged to todays 3ft 6in. Therefore there is a large space either side of any loco in the tunnel, not the tight fit as shown. The A.T.L has been advised of the error in the photos details some years back, but it has never been rectified.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
