Wa165 Steam train worked so hard yesterday shuttling more than 4,000 people from station to wharf for the Tuia 250 open day. When we cleaned up carriages these 4 items were found. Please let us know if any belong to you so we can return. Look forward to seeing some of you on Saturday 26th October for our first public trip for year. Tickets from Gisborne I Site
