The Government Railway Workshops
The Government Railway Workshops, situated on the opposite side of the river to Aramoho, comprise five large buildings of wood and iron, covering several acres of ground. All the repairing and a good deal of the rebuilding of the rolling stock of the Napier-Taranaki section of the Government railways is executed here. About seventy hands are employed in the works. A large steam-engine of about forty-horse-power is used to drive the lathes and other machines, which are very numerous.
