    Rusty wagons which have lain in an Otago gully for 45 years, have been pulled back to life

    Rusty wagons which have lain in an Otago gully for 45 years, have been pulled back to life


    Contractors working with the Lumsden Heritage Trust hauled three historic JC railway wagons up a steep gully near Hyde on Friday.

    Lumsden Heritage Trust chair John Titter says it's an incredible feat.

    He says they had to go down what was likely a 45 degree track to get the wagons out.
